About the Author
My name is Carrie Atkins and besides being a Registered Nurse for one of the most caring hospital systems in the country, I love writing fiction.
Through the years, my family and I have moved to several different states. Because I left a little piece of my heart in Plymouth, Minnesota and in Sarasota, Florida, I guess Our Next Dance helped fill the void.
I have always been interested in writing and even had my own little library of sorts in grade school. Basically, I wrote short stories, constructed the books with a cardboard backing, and checked them out to my classmates; a class favorite was “The Haunted Playground.”
I love writing fiction weaved with real life events so when I decided to write a Young Adult, Crossover novel, it made sense to take the strangest experience of my entire life and blow it up into one big crazy story. My boyfriend (now husband) and I were attending a production of the San Francisco Nutcracker Ballet when I experienced a flashback that to this day still haunts me.
