I have been writing stories since I was a child and always won prizes for essays and stories at school. It was nearly always a book voucher that was first prize, with which I built up my home library of my favorite books. I love anything with a happy ending.  But particularly, westerns and historical with a touch of romance and adventure.

I have now published the second and last book in the Brides Bound for Oregon series – Lottie, Avril and Esme. 

I co-wrote Book number 1 (Colette and Sera) along with Quinn Carno, who also publishes books under the name of Sadie Conall – an established author in her own right.

I have published one of my own books and after a break will pull the rest of these together so they can be published. These books were written many years ago but languished in a briefcase and were never put into digital until recently, when I decided to go forward with them. I will be spending a lot of time editing and re-writing.

I have now published the first of my “old” manuscripts! Check it out in Carena’s News page.

Contact Carena at carenamcgregor@gmail.com. Carena will answer any questions you might have about Sera and Colette.

I am a keen bagpiper and have been playing for 40 years. I have competed with bands and also travelled overseas to many countries playing at various Tattoos, Highland games and competitions. The epitome of my travelling with bands was performing in the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Scotland.
