First Wolf FREE on Amazon

The lovely Carole Anne Carr's ebook
First Wolf

Book description: This is a brilliant book from former Shropshire primary school teacher, poet, actor, church minister and artist. Now Carole Anne Carr from Ludlow can definitely add children’s novelist to her list of many talents. In her first book, aimed at 10+, she uses her expertise and life experiences to create First Wolf. Youngsters are plunged into a vibrant adventure with enough energy and realism to keep them on the edge of their seats without it being too heavy or too grown-up to cope with.Together with Carole's Anglo-Saxon hero Toland, young readers will be transported on a journey to an incredible world. Along the way, they learn about truth, honesty, and friendship, and that good always triumphs over evil. After visiting historical places with her schoolchildren, Carole used the sites to encourage children to create their own music, paintings, to write their own stories and poetry, and to make mathematical models, all of these experiences forming a basis for her novels.

Candle Dark FREE on Amazon

The lovely Carole Anne Carr's ebook
Candle Dark

Blurb: Joshua was nearly eleven and he’d worked down the Blists Hill coal pit since he was seven and a bit. He hated it down there. He hated working in the dark, he hated the rats and the stink of the tunnels, and he especially hated it when the mine flooded and his wet boots rubbed his feet raw.

Then on the day that Bradley the horsekeeper gave him another beating so bad he ached all over, he made up his mind to run away and find work on the Severn trows. But what would happen to poor Drummer, left behind in the dark? What would happen to his mum and sisters if he left them to the mercy of the evil Isaac Whitlock? And how could he sail to Bristol, when his dad had been set to work in the most dangerous part of the mine?

Afraid of the river gangs and worrying about his dad, Joshua must decide whether to run for his life, or to stay in Coalport and try to protect his family.
