HOUSTON, July 6 /Christian Newswire/ -- Years ago when Carole Whang Schutter started researching to fulfill her dream of writing a screenplay, she never imagined the controversy that would ensue.

With her dream of writing a screenplay coming to fruition Schutter felt inspired to write the novel. September Dawn (Author House, July 2007) -- On September 11, 1857, the first act of religious terrorism in the United States took place in Utah when a group of fanatical Mormons massacred a prosperous wagon train of 120 settlers from Arkansas and Missouri on their way to California. Driven by a despotic Brigham Young who thundered chilling messages of "Blood Atonement" from the pulpit, the faithful committed polygamy, murder, and castration in the name of God.

"With only God left as a witness" -- The New York Times

At age 54, and not having held a job since age 27, Carole started her writing career. To everyone she says:

I was born with a dream. I wanted to write. It took me over half a century to fulfill my dream but with God's help and persistence anything is possible. That mantra defines my life. No matter how difficult life becomes, no matter how many curve balls life throws your way, never give up -- Carole Whang Schutter.

Carole Whang Schutter was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. She graduated with a degree in Psychology from the University of Hawaii and is an evangelical Christian. A widow, Carole has been a motivational speaker to live audiences as well as appearing on TV and radio shows. She now occupies her time writing novels, screenplays, and inspirational books.
