Landmark publishing events launched under Carol’s direction include the revised Catechism of the Catholic Church, (Librera Editrice Vaticana/Liguori Press) The New International Version of the Bible, (Zondervan) and The Commentary on the Torah (Jewish Publication Society). Writers represented include Mitch Albom (Tuesdays with Morrie); Joseph Cardinal Bernardin (The Gift of Peace); Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong (four books); and athlete-authors Mike Singletary, Gary Carter, and Dave Dravecky.
After graduating from Drake University with a journalism major, Carol worked on the Kansas City Diocesan newspaper (after its predecessor, The Catholic Reporter, relocated to New York as a national independent paper). The new local paper also exceeded diocesan comfort zones, however; and after it was shut down, Carol became an editor and film critic at a suburban newspaper chain. Her screenplay, Pure Beholding, had a brief happy life as first place winner in a Texas screenwriting competition before dying peacefully, never produced.view less
