Carmen Peone Short Bio

Carmen Peone is an award-winning author of Young Adult Adventure and Contemporary Western Romance. She lives in Northeast Washington and on the Colville Confederated Indian Reservation with her husband and horses.

She had worked with a Tribal Elder, Marguerite Ensminger, for three years learning the Arrow Lakes Language and various cultural traditions, which led to her writing career.

With a degree in abnormal psychology, the thought of writing never entered her mind, until she married her husband and they moved to the reservation after college.

With the love of history and the Western woman’s lifestyle, she weaves threads of hope, family, relationships, love, and faith into her stories that lead to happily ever after.
