Biography
[edit | edit source]She is Professor of English and Director of Creative Studies in Writing at Alverno College, Milwaukee, and a reviewer and crime fiction columnist for the Milwaukee Sentinel.
She is also known for her writing contributions with younger brother, actor, singer and dancer John Barrowman, best-known for his role as Jack Harkness in Doctor Who and Torchwood.[2]
She was credited as co-author on her brother's memoir and autobiography, Anything Goes, which was published in 2008 by Michael O'Mara Books.[3] Part of the writing process involved her transcribing her brother's dictations.[4]
In 2009, John Barrowman published I Am What I Am, also featuring Carole as co-author.[5] In addition to her brother's memoirs, the siblings co-wrote a Torchwood comic strip, featuring Jack Harkness, entitled Captain Jack and the Selkie.[6] The Barrowman siblings' debut novel, titled Hollow Earth, was published in February 2012.[7] In researching the novel, Carole traveled to the west coast of Scotland to visit some of the locations which she and her brother chose to feature in the book.[8]
In addition to her published collaborations, she contributed an essay about her brother to the Hugo Award-winning[9] non-fiction anthology Chicks Dig Time Lords.[10]
