Much of Carey’s writing is bolstered by her activities aboard “real ships with real captains.” She is a watchleader, training officer, and deckhand aboard several historic sailing vessels over her adult life have given her a unique perspective which adds detail, realism, history and spice to her writing. She is also an active historian with interests in Stonehenge Iron-Age culture, the Civil War, the War of 1812, medieval history, the history of literature and the theatre, and ancient history. Carey is versatile with formats as well as genres; experienced with writing prose, both fiction and non-fiction, books, articles, case studies and novelizations, several screenplays, teleplays, both original and “for hire,” and is an accomplished script doctor.
