Carol Burkes is an author/illustrator as well as a Grandmother. She has been writing and illustrating stories of Critters and Characters for family and friends for over 50 years. She also creates greeting cards, and especially loves handing out thank you cards to all the "helpers" she encounters (from doctors and nurses to delivery drivers and store clerks).
She enjoys brightly colored hair (pink and vibrant blue are her favorites), cooking with exotic spices and watching Hallmark movies. Born and raised in northern California, she currently lives in central Indiana. When she isn't writing or drawing, she will be enjoying grandchildren or watching television with her husband Larry and two cats, T-Rex (giant grey scaredy cat) and Ninja (black escape artist).

(Cuddling with T-Rex...all 25lbs! Ninja is not impressed by his Halloween costume.)
Her artwork varies, choosing to work with acrylic paints, watercolor and colored pencil renditions, and the Inktober pen and ink drawings. All of her drawings include her signature music note. Her cards also include "God Made It...It is Very Good"
