Fed up with polygraphs, security clearances and a daily commute, Caroline Lee fled a career writing classified reports for the Dept. of Defense to become a full-time storyteller and daydreamer-in-chief. Often inspired by her surroundings, Caroline's first book, "Maxzyne Meets the Mannequins," features America's most impulsive heroine, 10-year-old Maxzyne Merriweather, whose madcap adventures take place in the magical and historic city of Chicago. Caroline currently resides in Delray Beach, Florida where the weather is much warmer than Chicago. She is a member of the Society of Childrens Bookwriters & Illustrators (SCBWI) and is thrilled that her first book "Maxzyne Meets the Mannequins" won the 2020 Independent Press Award for Children's Fiction. The second adventure in the series, "Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre" is now also available on Amazon and recently won two Story Monsters Dragonfly awards!

I'll Handle This

My eleven-year-old character, Maxzyne, exudes self confidence in this particular excerpt. Although I am the author who created her, sometimes she amazes me with her belief in herself and her ability to come up with just the right thing to say when needed. I love that about her! She makes it fun for me to write her adventures. On occasion, I find myself laughing out loud as she finds herself in all kinds of vexing situations, real or imagined. When I sit down to write, I ask myself, "What's Maxzyne doing today and how is she going to get herself out of this particular predicament?" Sometimes it's hard to keep up!

Book Excerpt

Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre

Rico smiles at the mahogany horse cavorting in the ring. “This is a happy horse,” he whispers excitedly in Maxzyne’s ear. “Maybe you are right about la policía.”

“Team Maxzyne is always right,” she whispers, resisting the urge to stick out her tongue. “Now just let me do the talking.”

“Nobody does that better than you, X, Z, and Y,” he quietly taunts, ducking the jab she tries to give with her elbow.
