About Carrie

Carrie Byrd is a best-selling sapphic romance author, college professor, and California native living just outside Philadelphia. She loves hiking and kayaking, burritos, video games, Old Hollywood, Eagles football and Phillies baseball, teaching poetry, talking a mile a minute, and traveling around the world with her wife. 

An extrovert who thrives on a stage, Carrie once won first place by crowd vote for her improvised lip sync of “Jessie’s Girl” at a packed drag brunch. She considers it one of her life’s greatest accomplishments.

Carrie’s favorite word is thistle. It feels good to say out loud.
