Caroline Carver – United Kingdom
Caroline’s first novel Blood Junction, won the CWA Debut Dagger Award and was selected by Publishers Weekly as one of the best mystery books of the year.
Born in the UK, Caroline is half-English half-New Zealand. She has been a travel writer and long–distance rally driver, heading an all-female crew driving London to Saigon and London to Cape Town.
More recently Caroline put 14,000 miles of South America’s toughest rallying roads under her belt. She has been robbed in Russia, chased by the Georgian Mafia who wanted to steal her car, and survived getting lost in the Taklamakan Desert.
Caroline blames her love of adventure on her parents: her mother, Mary Seed, set a land speed record in Australia in 1956 and her father was a jet fighter pilot with the Royal Australian Navy.
Caroline has written another six thrillers and is currently completing her seventh. She lives in Bath, UK.
