Welcome to The Humor Writer, which features the work of freelance writer and columnist Carole Moore. For several years Carole has written clean, family-oriented humor, as well as articles about more serious subjects ranging from travel to business. She's also the author of a 16-part fiction adventure series featured on this site. Entitled "The Perils of Eileen," the story involves a 40-something housewife who wears big, white cotton underpants and discovers that being a spy is fraught with adventure and, well for lack of a better word, peril. Carole isn't afraid to tackle the really tough issues in her writing – like potty training, puberty, remote controlitis and how to successfully incorporate donuts into one's diet. But after years of updating this web site each month with the help of Carol Daly, her intrepid and incomparable web mistress, and an increase in her other freelance work, she had to make a choice between work that she actually gets paid to do and continuing to update this web site for free. She chose the paying work. Please don't blame her for selling out. She has a really, really good excuse: two budding teenagers who eat like longshoremen, make her drive them all over the city and plot ways to pierce extraneous body parts when she isn't looking. In order to keep her kids in CDs and potato chips, Carole's had to bow to the lure of filthy lucre. And that keeps her busy. In addition to her weekly humor column, she also writes a monthly magazine column aimed at criminal justice professionals and a weekly crime prevention column called "What Cops Know," which can be found on the crime channels at CompuServe, Gateway.net and Netscape. Carole's work appears in many magazines, both trade and consumer, which is a good thing since her children appear in many commercial venues – like Gap, Wal-Mart and Circuit City. She still writes humor, though, and if you're interested in following the follies and foibles of raising a family of alien beings, you can still access her weekly column at www.jdnews.com. It's cleverly listed under the "Columns" section. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you find something you like. Carole still receives and checks mail here, so please write and, if you're an editor with a job, feel free to contact her. Just – no lawn work, please. She's allergic to cut grass. |
