Carolyn Lang is originally from Queensland. Past jobs were varied and ranged from geological camp cooking, the inspiration for 'Fossils, Ferals and Flies', to nursing, to technical editing, to continence advising (least favourite role). When writing reports on people's bowel function and editing lengthy data descriptions became tedious, she began to turn some of her more unusual experiences into fiction. Carolyn believes that fiction is a good tool, but that truth is often far more interesting. She also thinks that it is freeing to embrace our flaws and foibles and to accept that absurdity is part of the human condition, and that humour is as essential to health and wellbeing as good food. Although she likes to live surrounded by bookshelves, with at least one cat, she also gets out into the wider and wilder world when she can. Carolyn currently lives in Perth, Western Australia, with her husband, Simon Lang, and the cat. See less
