Author Celebrates 10 Years as Full-time Author

Carolyn Arnold with hands raised celebrating 10 years as a full time author at the Gaylord Opryland Resort Nashville, Tennessee, during Bouchercon.

This summer has been an incredible whirlwind full of adventure and words! London and Paris in June and July, and Nashville, Tennessee, in August and September.
