Carole sa k písaniu dostala až v neskoršom veku a odvtedy to dobieha s veľkou vervou. Jej diela sa často rodia z vlastných skúseností a pozorovaní sveta okolo seba, či už ide o jej vlastné rodinné zážitky alebo o jej predchádzajúcu kariéru v oblasti vedy. S neustálym prísunom nápadov a bez známok tvorivého bloku sa pustila do písania románov, poviedok aj scenárov, čím si vybudovala pôsobivú a rozmanitú literárnu stopu.
