Carolyn Rose & Mike
Nettleton
For 24 years, Carolyn J. Rose
worked in television newsrooms in Little Rock, Arkansas;
Albuquerque, New Mexico; Eugene, Oregon; and Vancouver,
Washington. As a news writer, researcher, producer and
assignment editor, she saw what went on behind the scenes
before reports went on the air, and got to hear the
stories behind the stories.
Carolyn grew up in the New York's Catskill Mountains
and got into television by accident. With a degree from
the University of Arizona in English and Education,
she intended to be a teacher, but left graduate school
for Volunteers in Service to America and two years working
with low-income groups around Little Rock. When her
term of service was up, she moved on to write commercials
for KATV television. Tiring of trying to find new ways
to say "low prices," she convinced the news
director to take her on as a researcher and assignment
desk assistant.
Several years later, purely on a whim, she drove to
Albuquerque with a friend and got a job with KOAT and
later with KRQE, writing and producing nightly newscasts.
During this time, she met Mike and, a few years later,
lured by misty forests and the roar of the surf, they
headed for Eugene, Oregon.
Carolyn became a news producer with KVAL and she and
Mike joined a writers' critique group led by Elizabeth
Lyon, author of The Sell Your Novel Toolkit.
They began writing individually (Carolyn has two mysteries
out through Deadly Alibi Press, www.deadlyalibipress.com)
and together.
Carolyn was a regular contributor to Murderous Intent
Mystery Magazine until it folded, and has been published
in Dogwood Tales Magazine, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine,
Seventeen, and the Eugene Register-Guard.
Carolyn is now a substitute teacher in Vancouver, Washington
