More About the Author

I'm Texas born, and have lived here my entire life. The history of this great state has always intrigued me, and that's why all of my stories are based in Texas. I think my past experiences gave me insight into what I write about - I've lived in small towns and on farms, and spent many a summer on ranches where my grandfather worked. Growing up, horses and history were two of my passions, and living away from cities nurtured my creative side.

I've been interested in books and storytelling since I was a child. One of my favorite memories is sitting by my grandfather and listening to him tell stories about working in the oil fields and his life on a ranch. When I was a bit older, I would rewrite the endings to television shows, or come up with my own "episodes" altogether. Little did I know that my imagination would one day lead me to where I am now.

I've written eight books in the Lex & Amanda series:
DESTINY'S BRIDGE (2002)
FAITH'S CROSSING (2002)
HOPE'S PATH (2001/2003)
LOVE'S JOURNEY (2001/2006)
STRENGTH OF THE HEART (2002/2007)
THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE (2004)
TO HOLD FOREVER (2008)
TRUST OUR TOMORROWS (2012)

There are also four stand-alone romances:
SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR (2002)
DIVING INTO THE TURN (2006)
PIPERTON (2009)
HEART'S RESOLVE (2012)

All of my books are published through Regal Crest Enterprises (www.regalcrest.biz). More information can be found on my website (www.CarrieLCarr.com).

This review is from: Love's Journey (Lex and Amanda) (Paperback)

Love's Journey is the third installment in Carr's series about Amanda and Lexie trying to make a life for themselves despite the interference of members of both of their families. First, it should be said that all of these books make pleasant reading and the characters do draw you into the story. The problem is that Carr's writing isn't showing any improvement. Her vocabulary is limited (How many times can you use the word beautiful on one page and in one story?) and her conversations are stilted. Too often there are mental asides that are supposed to reveal the characters' thoughts when better constructed dialog would do the same thing. When you consider all three books take place over a period of just a few months, you have to wonder how many times two women can be shot, poisoned, run off the road and nearly killed in several manners before people are afraid to be around them. Never fear, except for two crazy relatives, everyone else they know loves them completely, sees no wrong in anything they do (even when Lex is constantly losing her temper and roughing someone up) and totally supports them. Even Lex's father, who supposedly abandoned her years ago, turns up and it seems really loved her dearly all that time, he just didn't know how to show it. Uh, huh. Go back to the original point though. The book is still good reading and it's a good story, almost in spite of the characters.

This review is from: Love's Journey (Paperback)

Another of the classic series of lesbian literature, the Lex and Amanda series by Carrie Carr should be on every collector's bookshelf. I recently read and enjoyed - for the second time - the entire story. In this fourth of the series (following `Hope's Path'), Amanda's mother returns and makes it her mission to get Amanda away from Lex. She will stop at nothing to reach her goal.

Because of this wonderful series, Carrie Carr is one of the more widely-published authors in the genre. Lex and Amanda are easy to love and it's a joy to watch their relationship grow as the series develops.
