Carol "Pixie" Brearley was born in Florida, raised in Brooklyn/Queens NY, and moved to upstate NY in her early teens where she now resides with her family and cats in their inner city home.When Pixie is not being a mom, wife, housekeeper, cook, and writer, she spends her free time reading, doing assorted crafts and gardening. She is also a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, a medieval recreation group.
For a glimpse into Pixie's artistic side visit the Faerybug home page and take a look around. She has had a love for the finer arts since high school, where she majored in Art and minored in English. " Painting is a great outlet for those inner emotions you cannot get out any other way."
In tenth grade she was introduced to William Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe and fell in love with their writing. Poe became a big inspiration to her writing style and to this day still does.
After getting a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, she looked into the workforce but was highly disappointed by the lack of available jobs. Deciding to be a stay-at-home mother of three, she chose family over career and does not regret a moment of it, because it allowed her to bring The Dark Angel Trilogy to life.
