Carolyne aarsen biography of martin

About the Author

Though Carolyne Aarsen grew up in a city, she considers herself a full-fledged country person.

When she's not writing, she's helping her husband with his logging business, their herd of cows, their horses and their chickens that managed to escape the clutches of the coyotes and owls. They are also involved with the youth in their church.

Because of her isolation from any kind of writing group, Carolyne learned to write by trial and error and by taking correspondence courses while she and her husband were raising their four natural children and the numerous foster children that came through their home.

She documented the fun and foibles of their life in a weekly humor column carried in a number of Alberta newspapers.
