Carrie Karnes-Fannin is a full-time writer for kids and an editor/illustrator with the Little Thoughts Press.

She enjoys photography, hiking, and re-reading the works of comedic genius Douglas Adams. She believes “42” answers the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything, but unfortunately has mislaid her towel.

Carrie lives in the Appalachian foothills with her husband, their groovy dog Bodhi, and fond memories of her muse Langston—a perfectionist cat who would be grumpy about being last on this list.
