C D McCarthy

C D McCarthy is a retired Duke University medical writer/librarian and longtime author of novels and a memoir. She studied medieval church history, public administration, and information science in several universities and, as such, has a reputation as a “fountain of ephemeral knowledge.” Her long career in multiple information settings and lived experience in the diversity of American culture give her a unique, but far from complete, perspective and appreciation for life and the struggles inherent in her environment. So, her background and experience made the writing of The Templar and the Magdalene almost a given.
