: About Me

Carol Denbow owned and operated three successful businesses in Southern California. After only fifteen years in business, she was able to sell the businesses and comfortably retire at the young age of 42.

Hidden behind the "hard-core" business woman and devoted mom was an author with a book inside. In 2002, Carol finally sat down and wrote the introduction to her first book. Two years later, the first of three new books, "Are You Ready to Be Your Own Boss?" was in print fulfilling the need for new business owners to achieve success.

As an established writer, publisher, and book seller, Carol receives numerous requests for assistance from novice writers and faithfully follows up with each and every one of them, helping them to achieve their dreams of becoming successful authors.

Carol now resides with her husband Craig on a small farm near the southern coast of Oregon. In retirement, she enjoys golf, fishing, and of course, writing! Carol is a active volunteer for South Coast Hospice and a member of several writing communities.
