Carol M Mottershead

Carol’s vivid imagination has always been her strength, especially with conspiracy theories. But her debut novel, Joan - Put on a Happy Face, consumed her life. For two years, she barely slept, completely immersed in Joan’s world. Her sons often reminded her, “You are not Joan!”

Joan became so real to Carol that she imagined meeting her in the Lake District, a place she envisions Joan now resides. Carol’s passion for research was immense, and she hopes readers will enjoy her book as much as she loved creating it.

- Happy reading!
