Carlo & Erin

The Careres are an award-winning, husband/wife writing team.

Carlo was born in Naples, Italy and served as a Captain of the Carabinieri (the Italian equivalent of the FBI) for twelve years before switching to screenwriting full-time. An award-winning, published novelist in Italy and series regular on Italy’s longest-running TV show, Carlo moved to Hollywood and became a naturalized US Citizen.

Erin was born and raised in rural Minnesota before attending the University of MN, earning a B.A. in English Literature Magna Cum Laude and the prestigious Manhattan School of Music. She toured the country and Europe as a singer-songwriter before moving to Los Angeles, where she began writing one-woman shows and plays. During this time she supported herself as a phone psychic, a job that left her with keen insight into human behavior and a catalogue of curious characters.

Carlo and Erin have been writing together since 2016.

They specialize in thrillers, action, scifi and supernatural stories about underdogs and fish out of water who must contend with strong moral dilemmas.
