Hamburger and French Flies: A Barn Swallow's Story
Carol makes her authorial debut with Hamburger and French Flies: A Barn Swallow's Story, sharing with readers an experience that has stayed with her for the past 30 years. In the early 1990's, while volunteering in Dorchester Cape, New Brunswick with the Canadian Wildlife Service, she met Raven. What followed exemplifies the intelligence and connection of the barn swallow, as well as the delicate condition of the human spirit.
​
Carol lives in Bloomfield, New Brunswick with her husband, three children, cat, and three dogs. With a Bachelor of Arts degree from Mount Allison University, she continues her work with wildlife, only now through artistry and portraiture.
Carol has also illustrated for the book They Live Amongst Us! written by Janice Timberlake. It is currently available on Kindle.
"The grade 2/3 students have been enjoying the story of Raven as I have been reading it to them. We have been studying New Brunswick in Social Studies class this spring. This has led to many discussions about Sackville and the Tantramar Marshes. All of the extra information added to each page has certainly increased the students learning and has also given them a better understanding of how barn swallows struggle to survive."
