Author Information

After publishing her first historical fiction novel for adults, under the pen name, Josephine Ashton, Dark Wind Rising - A Claudia Kelly Mystery, Ashton has continued her interest in New Mexico locations, with story lines that encompass other eras, such WWII and the 1960s, to write Ride the Wild Wind - Sheriff Robert Gallegos - Friends and Enemies. Currently she has completed a sequel, Ride the Wild Wind - Sheriff Robert Gallegos - The Witch's Grave, and is considering a series. As Claudia J. Carroll, Claudia Carroll and CJ Carroll, the author has written some 300 pieces for community newspapers as well as published articles, stories and poetry for small magazines and not-for-profits. Having written both plays and songs, she has been involved with stage and music productions, event coordination and continues to exhibit her paintings and photography. As an older adult, she achieved a BA in Visual Arts at a California university, and a Masters in Arts in Education at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She has also written and independently published several personal journals, such as 1000 STEPS - A Teaching Adventure in Taiwan, GUATEMALAN ODYSSEY - Poverty, Pain, Prayer & Politics, ANGELS IN FOREVER - In Search of My Self, and a guide for non-writers: REMEMBRANCE WRITING 101, The Easy Way to Write and Share the Stories of Your Life. As a teacher of both English as Second Language (ESL) in Taiwan, Guatemala and Mexico, and special education in New Mexico and California, she's also independently written books for children. The most recent is Clinton's Tree of Life, a cooperative project with the founder/director of the international, not-for-profit, Kids For Saving Earth. Other independently published stories for children include, Little Bravebird & the Grandparents' Gifts, Shmadiggle & the Imagination Asteroid, Old Dumpling & the Rainy Day, Missy Mouse & the Rocket Ship, Petey Punkin' & the B & BRRR Haunted Hotel, and Clara Cow & the Country Fair. She hopes these books will find illustrations eventually, or be combined into a single hard-cover book.
