Carl Baldwin is a lifelong storyteller inspired by the twist-filled works of Ray Bradbury and Edgar Allan Poe. He writes everything from dark short fiction to poetry, music, and heart-driven children’s stories—many of which feature the animals he adores. An electrical engineer and acting sales director by day, Carl finds his true escape in writing. His dog Ralph, constant companion and muse, also stars in a children’s series Carl is developing. When he’s not crafting new tales, he’s following sports, playing golf, or dreaming up the next world he’ll put on the page.
