ABOUT CAROL E WYER
Carol E. Wyer was born in Munster, Germany in 1960. She began her working life in Casablanca where she taught English and French in Language Schools and for companies. used to race around the streets on a clapped out VéloSoleX bike, avoiding donkeys. She changed career to become a fitness instructor in her forties and appeared in Zest magazine as a ‘success story’. No longer able to touch her toes with her hands, she has now become a full-time writer. Having written a series of educational yet amusing books for children, she turned her attention to the adult market in 2010 when her son flew from the nest.
Her first two novels Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines and Surfing in Stilettos won several awards for humour and much attention from the media. Since then, she has won the people’s Book Prize Award with Grumpy Old Menopause and has appeared on over fifty BBC radio stations, several international radio stations, Sky News, NBC television and BBC Breakfast television discussing age-related subjects such as ‘Irritable Male Syndrome’ and ‘Grumpy Old Menopause’. Her writing style has been described frequently by the media as ‘witty’ or ‘humorous’ and has even been compared to the acerbic wit of Jeremy Clarkson and the humour of Robin Williams.
Carol has written articles for and featured in several national women’s magazines including Take A Break, Choice, Woman’s Weekly and Woman’s Own who also wrote about her journey to becoming a best-selling author.
Currently writing a series of novels and articles aimed at the ‘older’ woman and man, Carol is also engaged in writing by-line articles and posts for magazines and websites including Silver Travel Advisor and the Huffington Post.
Carol is also a regular Loud Mouth on BBC Radio Derby.
Last year, she took a crash course in stand-up comedy and is currently doing a comedy tour entitled Smile While You Still have Teeth to sell-out audiences, proving you’re never too old to try a new experience.

Thank you very much indeed for hosting me here and letting me and the Grumpy One rest a while with you. He’s getting puffed out on this tour!
Always happy to host you Carol! Sorry to hear the Grumpy One is having a hard time keeping up and needs to rest. Stay as long as you both need. 😉
Ha, ha, this sounds like so much fun. This grumpy one can relate. Something this grumpy has done recently is to think that a vehicle’s battery lasts forever and not bother to have it checked. Result, van won’t start, van towed to shop for new battery. Grumpy one will remember next time.
Congratulations on your book, Carol. Best of luck to you.
I can’t believe you’re a grumpy one, Beverly.
