Carol Dunbar has been writing books since kindergarten and worked freelance as a ghostwriter on her path to becoming a novelist. In 2018 she won the Hal Prize for fiction and her stories have appeared in The New York Times, The South Carolina Review, Midwest Review, and others. Her essays about living off the grid can be heard on Wisconsin Public Radio; one essay, involving her encounter with a mother bear, was televised as an animated short. Before devoting herself to writing, Carol earned her BFA in theatre and worked as a professional actor based out of Minneapolis. The daughter of a naval officer, Carol was born on the island of Guam and bounced around to different schools across the globe growing up. She moved to the Midwest for love, married a Minnesota boy, and never left. She writes from a solar-powered office on the second floor of a water tower in the woods of northern Wisconsin where she lives with her husband, two kids, and a giant Alaskan malamute.
Her debut novel, The Net Beneath Us, recently released in paperback, and A Winter's Rime comes out this fall.
