Carol J. Hansen’s passion for reading & her intrigue with the mystical aspects of life, whether real or fantasy, are what motivated her to write DarkStar, her first novel. The strength in her story comes from her understanding of what the youth like and how they think. Being active with and observing them for many years gives her an advantage as she has the ability to combine her knowledge with a vivid imagination and come up with a believable fantasy laced with mystery, gripping drama and an unforgettable love story. In her spare time Carol is a salon owner & stylist. The most important aspect of her life is her family and she resides in Utah. DarkStar is the first novel of a trilogy and the epic will continue in the much anticipated; Wizard.
