Holding a master’s degree in home economics, author Carolyn Williamson has taught cooking to children, teen-agers, adults, and prison inmates. She also wrote and directed videos on nutrition and fair fighting for married couples.
After her husband learned he had high cholesterol, she altered the way she cooked. When two romance writer friends complained about unappealing recipes for diabetics, she began writing the text for the cookbook, THERE IS LIFE AFTER LETTUCE. The three friends developed healthy versions of their favorite family recipes and Carolyn revamped recipes she’d used when catering cocktail parties for Detroit automobile executives. The three authors sold the cookbook to Eakin Press in Austin, Texas.
A former president of NTRWA, and author of ten yet to be published romantic suspense novels, some of which have won awards, Carolyn works as a paralegal and tries out new recipes on her husband, two daughters, and three grandchildren. Her son who once asked, “What is this Desperation Stew number 104?” has finally escaped being a guinea pig and lives in Seattle.
