CAROL BAXTER

Carol's six biographies/popular histories were picked up by major publishers and have received international acclaim. The Times (London) wrote of The Peculiar Case of the Electric Constable that it is "as lively and readable as a crime novel". Publishers Weekly (USA) wrote of The Fabulous Flying Mrs Miller that it's a "thrilling biography". The Canberra Times (Australia) wrote of Captain Thunderbolt and His Lady that it's "compelling". 

The Fabulous Flying Mrs Miller is being turned into a television series called The Aviatrix. Captain Thunderbolt and His Lady is being turned into a television series called Thunderbolt & Bugg. Black Widow has been turned into a computer game. 

Again, Carol turned this writing knowledge into "how to" publications such as Writing Interesting Family Histories.  

Carol has taught researching and writing skills at many genealogy conferences in Australia and abroad. These include four Unlock the Past cruise ship conferences and more than a dozen international Legacy Family Tree Webinars.

Carol has also taught writing skills to many writing groups, including Master's Degree students at Sydney University who were enrolled in a Creative Nonfiction degree. 

In 2021, Carol started the business Writing Fabulous Family Histories, which taught genealogists how to write interesting family histories.  However, this has now folded so she can focus on cruise ship speaking.
