Selected Work

“My nonfiction often concerns travel, family, or both. My first published essay, Siberian Wallpaper, was about traveling by Russian icebreaker through the Northeast Passage with my ornithologist grandfather. Later I spent a season working in Antarctica on an expedition cruise ship with my mother and step-father. My family has a long history of working in the polar regions, and a deep love of the natural world.”

Carin’s non-fiction is featured in the recent anthology, Letter To A Stranger: Essays To The Ones Who Haunt Us.
