Rosemary Poole-Carter
 Rosemary
Poole-Carter, a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, is a reading and
writing teacher and freelance writer.
Her love of writing began in early childhood and was nurtured by her mother, who
listened to her stories, took dictation, and helped her spell new words for her
fictional creations--such as "Boomahickey". Rosemary went on to write,
direct, and act in backyard plays with the neighborhood kids. While in sixth
grade she wrote her first historical novel, a medieval adventure, and throughout
high school she wrote angst-ridden poetry.
Today her work focuses on the mystery, drama, and eccentricity of the South,
particularly in Louisiana and Texas. Her family play MOSSY CAPE is based on
southern folklore, her adult drama THE LITTLE DEATH is set in steamy New
Orleans, and her short play INCONVENIENT WOMEN takes place in a Southern asylum.
WHAT REMAINS, her mystery novel published by Top, is set on a rundown plantation
shortly after the Civil War. In the shadow of live oaks and Spanish moss,
Isabelle Ross, who has lost her fiance to the war, joins forces with journalist
Paul Delahoussaye to untangle a web of secrets, lies, and murder.
