The Author in 2014

Trudi Carter is a first-time author. She lived her childhood on Long Island, New York and attended college upstate. While at college, she turned a silk screen project

into the original  version of

Can Dragons and Frogs Be Friends?

Moving to Iowa, she enjoyed teaching students to write and

share their poetry and stories. Recently retired, she found her college silk screen project

 and decided to publish it. Her love of nature – the forest and the beach -

enrich the details of the story.

The 2025 Second Version brings further  in-depth details

and thought provoking advice.


A challenge from her son to try a new story approach led to a

'counting by tens' jungle story written entirely in rhyme,

A 100 Monkeys Run Over a Roof

Today she lives in Lawrenceville, Georgia where her present book
