Something About Me and My Book:: My historical fiction novel "Why Aren’t You Sweet Like Me" is now published by the Sunbury Press! It's available on Amazon.com and the eBook will be out soon.

My website is carrienyman.com and it has links to my twitter, Facebook, and WordPress blog pages!

Here’s a short description:
In the summer of 1939, Camille “Honey” Shaughnessy drives to St. Louis University, determined not to fall into the familiar pattern of date, marry, stay home with children and create a life of unfulfilled possibility, but she could not foresee falling for Don Shepard.
