Author Biography

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!

A Topsy-Turvy World

When you're a kid, like my 11-year-old character, it probably seems like there are too many rules and regulations to comply with in life. Rules at home, rules at school, and rules in the real world. I had such fun writing this passage. As an author, I'm able to poke a little fun at adults wearing law enforcement uniforms. Meanwhile, Maxzyne just wants to save a carriage horse from mistreatment. But somehow the police are after her. How strange to be on the wrong side of the law while just trying to do the right thing. There's rarely a dull moment in Maxzyne's topsy-turvy world. Still, I wonder, if you counted them up, how many millions of rules might there really be?

Book Excerpt

Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre

“Sir! You with the balloons. Stop right where you are. Be advised you are in violation of Regulation 23.9825. Failure to yield right-of-way on a parade route. And Regulation 86.0732. Harboring a fugitive of the law.”

She gulps, trying to decide what to do. Geez, how many rules are there, anyway? Millions?
