Carrie Weaver is an American author of contemporary romance novels.
Biography
After Weaver had children, she chose to quit her job as a claims adjuster to stay home with them. While the children napped, she began writing romance novels to entertain herself. In 1994, she attended her first writer's conference; the following year, she joined the Romance Writers of America. Her first novel sold in 1999, to Kensington Books.
At the urging of Cathy McDavid, a fellow writer, Weaver signed to write a short story for the small press Elan Press. Her short story was included in their collection Romancing the Holidays.
Weaver was nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award in 2004 for her novel The Second Sister. In a review, Romantic Times gave The Second Sister their highest rating, noting the "realistic characters, strong emotion and an ending that is neither pat nor clichéd."
In 2006, Weaver was a finalist in the Best Long Contemporary Romance category for the Romance Writers of America's RITA Award.
