Ber Carroll (also known as B.M. Carroll.) was born in Blarney, a small but rather famous village in Ireland. The third child of six, she often retreated from the chaos of family life by immersing herself in books. Ber moved to Sydney in 1995 and began to climb the corporate ladder. Her exciting and dynamic work environment captured her imagination and inspired her first novel, Executive Affair. Ber has written eight other novels including Just Business, High Potential, The Better Woman, Less Than Perfect, Worlds Apart and Once Lost. Her recent novels are darker and more suspenseful. The Missing Pieces of Sophie McCarthy (Sept 2018) and Who We Were (May 2020) are published under B.M Carroll to reflect this transition in her writing. Ber gave up her finance career when she realised that she couldn’t hold down a demanding job, be mum to two small children and write books to contractual deadline. She lives in Sydney's Northern Beaches with her husband, children and PJ, the family dog. You can find out more about Ber by visiting her website or by checking out her Facebook page.
