Carol Bond states she Began writing at the age of 53 and followed in the path of her mother, a phot-journalist. Carol Ann has also painted and sculpted but will “continue to write until something wonderful happens.” Carol says her work reflects these main issues; “tainted love, things that glimmer in the night, forces of nature, the low lifes of society, whores, pimps, gangsters”. Carol Bond is a force of nature and her work is exceedingly fierce.
