Nationally syndicated columnist, Carrie Classon, writes The Postscript, for Andrews McMeel Universal which appears in 200 newspapers nationwide. Carrie champions the idea that it is never too late to reinvent oneself in unexpected and fulfilling ways with her unique brand of honesty, humor, and optimism.

Carrie has written a memoir, Blue Yarn , several plays, and more than 600 columns. Her debut novel, Loon Point , was released by Lake Union in 2026 and her upcoming novel, The Turnip House , will come out early in 2027.

“Original, deftly crafted, and a fun and engaging read from start to finish, Loon Point is all the more impressive when considering that it is author Carrie Classon's debut as a novelist. Carefully scripted characters, interesting plot lines, and the kind of narrative driven storytelling style that raises her family life fiction themed novel to an impressive level of literary excellence, Loon Point is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections."
