Carolyn Zane

CAROLYN ZANE lives with her husband, Matt, their pre-school daughter, Madeline, and their latest addition, baby daughter Olivia, in the rolling countryside near Portland Oregon's Willamette River. Like Chevy Chase’s character in the movie Funny Farm, Carolyn finally decided to trade in a decade of city dwelling and producing local television commercials for the quaint country life of a novelist. And, even though they have bitten off decidedly more than they can chew in the remodelling of their hundred-year-plus-old-farmhouse, life is somewhat saner for her than for poor Chevy. The neighbours are friendly, the mail carrier actually stops at the box and the dog, Bob Barker, sticks close to home.
