Carrie was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina. After growing up in the south, she decided to attend Williams College. This is where she met her fiancée JP, who convinced Carrie to go to her first zombie movie. Carrie became fascinated by zombies, and after moving to Charlotte, decided to write a zombie novel. There are so many movies about the days and weeks after a zombie apocalypse, but Carrie wanted to know what happened much later—generations later, so she wrote The Forest of Hands and Teeth and its sequel, The Dead-Tossed Waves.
