About
Carolyn Wilkerson

Carolyn Wilkerson is a tenured professor of education and current Vice President for Institutional Effectiveness at Livingstone College. She received her doctorate in Social and Philosophical Foundations of Education from Rutgers University with a post-doctoral study at the University of Phoenix. With an extensive educational background from K-12 teacher, school principal, to collegiate professor, it is no surprise that a woman dedicated to education has now published a book to help others.

Wilkerson was also a single mother whose son is now a retired U.S. Federal Agent/INTERPOL Assistant Director and he is helping her to fulfill a dream deferred. Hasta Mañana, Wilkerson’s debut novel, would not be the work it is without the research and consultation of her son and his former colleagues at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Although Wilkerson has used her writing skills to author professional documents, she notes that she is shy by nature and a closet writer of fiction and poetry for many years. Writing is a way Wilkerson liberated her thoughts from her head, even when no one read them but her. She encourages others who have had to make practical choices in years past to revisit their childhood dreams and embrace the passion that might still be there.

Wilkerson is currently completing the sequel to Hasta Mañana as well as continuing the development of other dramatic and suspenseful works.

HASTA MAÑANA

When an Hispanic woman’s son dies of a drug overdose provided by a Mexican drug lord, she becomes a federal agent and joins the border patrol on a personal mission to exact her revenge. Being a woman in a man’s world of law enforcement is challenging enough, but confronting the powerful drug lord for the redemption of her son unleashes the one thing far worse than risking her own life – the Truth.

From the highly acclaimed novelist Carolyn Wilkerson comes Hasta Mañana, a fast-paced thriller that dives into the world of the American Southwest and illegal immigrants, a journey of one mother’s quest for justice in a place where no one is who they seem and danger is everywhere. Wilkerson’s authentic portrayal of the life of a Border Patrol Agent is inspired by her son’s experiences while serving as a federal agent at the U.S./Mexico border in Arizona.
