Carol Antoinette Peacock: Hello. My name is Carol Antoinette Peacock. I use this name as my official writer's name. I go by Carol Peacock for all other parts of my life. My mother's middle name was Antoinette and her mother's first name was Antoinette. As a writer, I like to keep the maternal strength of my heritage alive by using the name Antoinette.

My last name Peacock comes from my father's family who were English. Sometimes when I'm feeling particularly fanciable I use brilliantly colored peacock feathers around my website or writer's journal.
