Carolyn Turgeon

Carolyn Turgeon is the author of five novels—Rain Village, Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story, Mermaid, The Fairest of Them All, and The Next Full Moon, most of them based on old-time fairy tales, dark and glimmering—and, more recently, The Faerie Handbook and The Mermaid Handbook. She's also also the editor-in-chief of Faerie Magazine, a quarterly print publication that the NY Times called “what would happen if Spenser’s The Faerie Queene and Martha Stewart Living had a magazine baby.” Currently she lives in a 1930s building in Baltimore that might have emerged from a Greta Garbo film and/or The Shining, depending on your mood, and is writing like a madwoman, usually from her purple velvet couch.
