Carolyn Matthews was born in the Antipodes but has lived her adult life in Toronto. She is married with grown children. She has published the non-fiction Heroic Rescues at Sea: True Stories of the Canadian Coast Guard, award-winning short fiction, and feature articles in such newspapers as the Globe and Mail and the National Post.
"In a society where media has cheapened the term 'bravery,' Matthews makes an argument for redefining our society's heroes ... In chronicling each story Matthews deftly extracts the key details, capturing the urgency and dangerousness of each situation ... Beyond a showcase for unsung bravery, the book also acts as a valuable resource. Each of the 10 accounts in True Stories is a concise case study that instructs as it entertains ... Matthews populates each story with helpful sidebars that serve as useful reference material, while acting as primers on technical details ..." -- SARSCENE Magazine April 2009
