Carol Cram

December 11th, 2025

Silence is where Carol Cram often begins—an empty space she fills with music, memory and the rich inner worlds that shape her fiction. A lifelong west coaster born in Victoria and raised in Vancouver, she has spent decades weaving stories across genres while building a prolific parallel career as an educator, consultant and author of more than fifty college-level textbooks. Her latest novel, The Choir (HTF Publishing, $19.95 USD), takes place in the 1890s to follow Eliza Kingwell and a determined group of working-class women whose voices refuse to be quieted. Rooted in themes of resilience, sisterhood and self-determination, the book continues Cram’s interest in historical narratives shaped by women’s inner strength. She lives on Bowen Island with her partner, painter Gregg Simpson. 9781963452280
