    Carol Marinelli

    Carol Marinelli wurde in England geboren. Gemeinsam mit ihren schottischen Eltern und den beiden Schwestern verbrachte sie viele glückliche Sommermonate in den Highlands. Nach der Schule besuchte Carol einen Sekretärinnenkurs und lernte dabei vor allem eines: Dass sie nie im Leben Sekretärin werden wollte! Also machte sie eine Ausbildung zur Krankenschwester und arbeitete fünf Jahre lang in der Notaufnahme. Doch obwohl Carol ihren Job liebte, zog es sie irgendwann unwiderstehlich in die Ferne. Gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester reiste sie ein Jahr lang quer durch Australien – und traf dort sechs Wochen vor dem Heimflug auf den Mann ihres Lebens ... Eine sehr kostspielige Verlobungszeit folgte: Lange Briefe, lange Telefonanrufe und noch längere Flüge von England nach Australien. Bis Carol endlich den heiß ersehnten Heiratsantrag bekam und gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann nach Melbourne in Australien zog. Beflügelt von ihrer eigenen Liebesgeschichte, beschloss Carol, mit dem Schreiben romantischer Romane zu beginnen. Doch das erwies sich als gar nicht so einfach. Nacht für Nacht saß sie an ihrer Schreibmaschine und tippte eine Version nach der nächsten, wenn sie sich nicht gerade um ihr neugeborenes Baby kümmern musste. Tagsüber arbeitete sie weiterhin als Krankenschwester, kümmerte sich um den Haushalt und verschickte ihr Manuskript an verschiedene Verlage. Doch niemand schien sich für Carols romantische Geschichten zu interessieren. Bis sich eines Tages eine Lektorin von Harlequin bei ihr meldete: Ihr Roman war akzeptiert worden! Inzwischen ist Carol glückliche Mutter von drei wundervollen Kindern. Ihre Tätigkeit als Krankenschwester hat sie aufgegeben, um sich ganz dem Schreiben widmen zu können. Dafür arbeiten ihre weltweit sehr beliebten ihre Heldinnen häufig im Krankenhaus. Und immer wieder findet sich unter Carols Helden ein höchst anziehender Australier, der eine junge Engländerin mitnimmt – in das Land der Liebe …
