Shortly after learning to write, Beverly began zealously chronicling life in a teal faux-leather diary.  She progressed to hand-writing, in columns, a neighborhood newsletter, experience which no doubt paved the way to her first sale, an article published in her local newspaper shortly after she graduated high school.   She obtained a degree in English and continued on to a career of writing lifestyle articles and essays for newspapers and magazines across the country, and promotional pieces for various corporate and institutional clients.  She’s the author of  How To Coach Youth Baseball and The Confident Coach’s Guide to Teaching Basketball— written with her husband NBA Coach and ESPN analyst John Carroll.  She’s a published short story writer, and teaches writing to all ages, elementary to post graduate.  Above all, she values and treasures her role as a mother; a www.clubmom.com  and Boston’s WHDH Parent-to-Parent expert, she is currently writing a book on mothering. 

            Beverly adores nature and art and will attempt just about any kind of design – graphic design, jewelry design, interior design and floral design (she also has a degree in Horticulture) are favorites.   The daughter and granddaughter of consummate seamstresses, she dabbles regularly in clothing and quilt design, and dreams of designing hats.  She lives outside Boston with her husband, their teenage son, and the family’s Katrina-rescued dog Abby.  Look for Beverly to write most often about relationships and the profession of writing.
