A lifelong movie watcher and steeped in literary writing and analysis, it was only natural Carol Frome would write screenplays after she wasted too time writing scads of content articles for the colossally stupid among us. She used a pen name because she had to write articles such as "How to Put Leaves in A Bag" and "How to Change Your Child's Pants".
Then out of the blue one day, enlightenment struck. She looked at her husband and said, I am not writing any more crap.
Before writing screenplays, she taught college creative writing courses, including one semester inside a maximum security prison. Here and there, she's been a private tutor, a real estate broker, a Tupperware lady, a Hickory Farms Cheese person cleaning the floor with a toothbrush while going into labor, a farm wife and a Discovery/the Nation poetry winner. She has published poetry in many literary magazines. and is the author of the poetry collection Lives & Mortalities.
