Carol Moreira writes the kind of fiction that lingers, stories where the stakes are intimate, the setting feels lived-in, and the past refuses to stay quiet. Born in Britain and raised between the U.K. and Hong Kong, Carol grew up attuned to the way culture shapes identity, and how the smallest decisions can alter the course of a life. That sense of turning points, of choices made too quickly, too quietly, or too late, runs through her work and gives her novels their emotional charge and forward momentum.

Before turning fully to fiction, Carol built a career as an award-winning journalist and editor across Canada, England, and Asia. Years of reporting sharpened her eye for human complexity and gave her writing its signature clarity. She writes across genres for both adults and teens, exploring reinvention, resilience, belonging, and the cost of keeping secrets.

Carol’s adult novels include Too Good (set in an English hospice), Culture Shock (set in 1995 Hong Kong as the city braces for seismic change), and her latest release, The Pet-Sit, a propulsive mystery of revenge, redemption, and closure. She is also the author of young adult novels including Riptides, Inside Information, Membrane, and Charged, and her nonfiction includes a contribution to the immigration anthology Coming Here, Being Here. She is a partner in Atlantic Canada’s business and innovation news site, Entrevestor, and lives in Nova Scotia, where the ocean, the weather, and the constant pull of “what if?” continue to feed her stories.
