About

CarmenShirkey was born in Staunton, VA. She received her degree inRhetoric and Communications from the University of Virginia (she’s acrazy Wahoos fan) where she was also a member of Alpha Xi Delta sorority. Shethen proceeded to become a gypsy – moving from city to city. Currently, sheresides in VA, but who knows where she’ll turn up next. Her cat, Pooh Bear,would prefer to stay in one place so he can adequately mark his territory.

Asidefrom writing, Carmen’s passion is for travel. She once got a fortune cookiethat told her that she would “step on the soil of many countries,” and she tookit seriously. She hopes that enough people will buy her book so she can go onpermanent vacation, instead of packing all her travel into two measly weekseach year. That’s the amount of vacation time she gets in her full-time gig asa Web editor.
