Books by Carole Engle Avriett

Growing up in a family steeped in military history, Carole Engle Avriett often heard her uncle-chief mechanic for Gen. Claire Lee Chenault's Flying Tigers-insist, "Ain't no fake stories ever gonna outdo the real ones." Convinced that he was right, Avriett pursued a career as an editor with Southern Living Magazine for nearly fifteen years recording real-life stories, then as an author at the intersection of true-life narratives and military history. Coffin Corner Boys is her sixth book.

Avriett graduated from the Uni. of California, Davis, with a BA of double majors in English and History, specializing in Military History. She received a Masters of Education with a concentration in English Composition from the Auburn Uni. where she taught Advanced Composition while working on doctoral level course-work in Literature.
