Somewhere deep inside, she kept coming back to the idea of writing novels. No matter how many jobs she hopped and jumped they never managed to her anything more that huge remunerations. But she never kind of got the job satisfaction that she was craving for. She graduated with a degree in social science and even went on to work as a bank teller, secretary and even tried her hands in substitute teaching. It was during her college days that Carson graduated from being an un-athletic, clumsy woman to being a carefree woman. It was during her college days that she got her first boyfriend and even moved on from being a cheerleader to a being a football player. It was here she learnt that when you work you work and when you party then you party like crazy. Moving on to college meant a lot of improvement, introspection and all. It also taught her the tenets of being a team player. It thought her how to be confident and of course entertain others. She was also in her school cheerleader squad. In her entire schooling career she attended 9 schools. But all the moving around made her an adaptable girl. Even when she confided the same to her parents when she was in standard three, they thought that it was indeed a wonderful idea.Ĭarson, as a child moved around a lot. She cooked a neat little story of how constipated she was and that it was the reason for her getting stuck in the loo.Īnd since she was always making up stories as child sometime to save herself sometimes to add on a little drama to life, it was but obvious for her to become a novelist. When the lady was just eight and tried catching up with a Nancy Drew novel in her school library and got late for her class in the process.

Unlike Carson, Finlay is into Science Fictions.Ĭarson claims that she has been a storyteller right from the start.

She lives in Arizona with two of her pet kittens and writer hubby CC Finlay. Well, to keep it short, Rae Carson is a self professed nerd who happens to be a full-time adult novelist.
