Although born in London, Carola Dunn grew up in the Buckinghamshire village of Jordans, known to Americans only as the burial place of William Penn (over whose gravestone, along with Penn's wives, Carola and her siblings played leapfrog). At 11 years of age, she attended a Friends boarding school, Saffron Waldon, and eventually headed to Manchester University, where she received her B.A. degree.
After university, Dunn set off to travel around the world, making it as far as Samoa and Fiji, then to Southern California in the US to be married. Her first book appeared in 1979 after varied careers in childcare, market research, construction, building design, writing definitions for a sciene and technology dictionary. Dunn now lives in Eugene, Oregon, with her Black Lab/German Shepherd, Willow, who walks Carola along the Willemette River every morning. She is close to her grown son and two grandchildren.
Carola Dunn, best known for her Daisy Dalrymple mystery series—numbering 17 (as of 2008)—is the author of 50 books, including her Regencies series and a new Cornish mystery series. (Adapted from the author's website.)
