Carl Lord’s early love of literature began as a child after reading his first Hardy Boys mystery. Those early years of journaling and writing creative short stories have evolved into Carl's work appearing in national magazines, regional commercials, and local publications. An accomplished musician, Carl has played on numerous albums, film scores, and commercials while attaining his temporary black belt in Judo and Hapkido. A member of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, Carl's faith, raising 12-year-old Gavin, and serving others continue to top his list of priorities.
