Writing Historical Mysteries with
SinC-CVA member Carol Amorosi!
Learn about writing historical mysteries, how to blend genres and remain true to the reader's expectations of each.

History permeates almost everything Carol enjoys, whether it is travel or volunteer work. Just ask her family! Over the years, she has put her passion for history to good use on archaeological digs and as a volunteer interpreter. Her interests span a wide range of periods, from the Iron Age to the Middle Ages to the Revolutionary War. She recently published her seventh book and insists that history can be fun!

Carol and her husband, Dave, recently returned to the United States after 13 years in Europe and retired to the foothills of western Virginia, along with their two cats and Widgit, the History Hound, who accompanies them on their escapades.
