Carolyn Fenzl is the award‑winning author of The Ballad of Buddy and the Lucy Vaughn Mystery Series, where small towns hide big secrets and the heroine always has a sweepstakes entry form nearby. Her holiday mystery Christmas in Cave Creek collected many accolades, including a 5‑Star Review from Indies Today.
A longtime sweepstakes enthusiast herself, Carolyn wrote No Purchase Necessary: How I’m Beating the Odds, a memoir about the quirky and surprisingly joyful world of prize‑hunting.
Having earned a history degree from the University of Virginia and a J.D. from Vermont Law School, Carolyn now uses her research skills for fictional mischief. She lives in Idaho with her husband and three cats.
