Carol Ann Martin is a writer deeply rooted in the Ozarks. Living in a secluded cabin, on the property where she was raised, she draws inspiration from the area's rich history and rural life. Her novels transport readers back to the 20th century, bringing the past to life, inviting readers to experience the beauty and hardships of a bygone era. When not writing, she can be found poking around local flea markets, or just hanging around the cabin with Mehmet, her Anatolian Shepherd.In her first two books, "Roots in the Dust" and Secrets in the Cane", Carol has based characters on members of her own family and has retold stories of their struggles living through hard times in the 20th century. The books are fiction, not at all intended to be biographical, but many of the tales come from the author's tendency as a child, to eavesdrop on her elders a bit.
