Carolyn Korsmeyer is a philosopher turned novelist, a shift of writing that isn't as strange as it may seem at first, as she is interested in the various ways that ideas can be conveyed by different kinds of writing, whether academic treatise or fictional narrative. She has published three novels and five books of philosophy, and her fourth novel will appear in 2027. She is also a co-editor of two collections of short stories: Feisty Deeds: Historical Fictions of Daring Women, and Feisty Deeds II: Historical Collections of Batches and Brews.

Her most recent novel, Riddle of Spirit and Bone, was inspired by the replacement of gas mains in her neighborhood. Curious to know what might be hidden beneath the sidewalk, she peered into deep trenches everyday, discovering nothing. Fiction came to the rescue with a human bone, and the rise of spiritualism in the nineteenth century provided a historical timeline to explore. 

Her fourth novel, tentatively titled No Final Harbor, will be published by Regal House in 2027. The story is set in 1936, when eleven Americans set sail for Japan, despite mounting global tensions. There is a spy story, a romance, and lots of secrets. Stay tuned.
