Carolyn Stearns is an author and performance storyteller. She lives in eastern Connecticut on the family's multi-generational farm but works off the farm. Carolyn's writing represents her country roots with a voice of authenticity of rural living. A lifetime interest in history and historical stories is represented by the dual timelines in Christmas Letters. Her newest teen book, Mystic Girl, is set in the beautiful town of Mystic, CT, a favorite outing destination of the author.

The mythology of this book is rooted in her repertoire.
