Carole Nelson Douglas

Carole unexpectedly passed away on October 20, 2021. We apologize for the previous typo on the home page stating she passed in 2020. She was 76 years old, but only days away from her 77th birthday. She is survived by her husband Sam Douglas and several cats, including Midnight Louie III.

Carole was the author of nearly 70 novels (including some that are not yet published but will be later released by her estate) and dozens of short stories. She was also the winner of over fifty writing awards. She wanted to write her own obituary but sadly passed before she got the chance to do so. Her estate did not want to attempt to write what Carole intended to say for herself.

Because her body of work and the number of awards she won were so numerous, and because Carole was so talented, generous, and a such genuinely a wonderful person, her estate did not feel that a simple paragraph in a newspaper or on a website could adequately mark the passing of her life. The Carole Nelson Douglas Estate would like for this web site and her entire body of work to serve as her standing obituary. No obituary was ever released to the media, except for several tributes from her friends and family that were posted to her Facebook page. We want to thank other friends and fans who have written their own tributes in various places on the internet.

Carole was far from finished with her publishing career, and the estate is honoring her wish to release even more content to her ever-faithful fans, who she loved and appreciated so much.
