Welcome to the Realms of Imagination
Official website of Science Fiction and Fantasy Author Carol Hightshoe
A native Texan, Carol found her way back to Texas after of a five-year detour in The Nederlands and over thirty years in Colorado. Both detours were courtesy of her husband Tim and the US Air Force.
​
An avid reader at a young age, her strong desire to write came from her love of (her husband calls it her obsession with) Star Trek. It was this early love of Star Trek that led her to the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres. In addition to her writing she has worked as a receptionist/office manager for two veterinary clinics, a deputy sheriff in El Paso County Colorado, and Assistant Fan Club Manager for the Professional Bull Riders. Her last day job was as a Rodeo Keyer for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. She is now retired in Brackettville, Texas where she spends most of her time writing and publishing other authors as the editor and publisher of WolfSinger Publications and the online magazine The Lorelei Signal.
​
She has been published in various anthologies and magazines including "Creature Fantastic", PanGaia Magazine, "Stories of Strength", Baen's Universe, Tales of the Talisman and Kepler's Dozen. Her books include: Call of Chaos, Chaos Embraced, The Road into Chaos, and Chaos Challenged.
