Readers and reviewers enjoy Carla’s no-nonsense, no-frills writing, which she can trace directly to her high school (yes, high school) training in journalism. Other novels set in the West are forthcoming, probably along with more Regencies. Currently, she has gone back another century to write a series about a brand inspector and his wife in 18th century New Mexico, when it was a crown colony of Spain. She wrote these stories as a direct result of working as a ranger in the National Park Service at Fort Laramie National Historic Site.
She began her writing career writing short stories about the people who lived in army garrisons throughout the American West. Navy, she crossed the 180th Meridian as a child, and has the certificates to prove that she is a member in good standing of The Domain of the Golden Dragon, since the age of 13 months.Ĭarla’s other major historical interest is the U.S. As the daughter of an officer in the U.S. She credits her own upbringing with some of this interest. Many of them are hard-working and hard-fighting members of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines in the Channel Fleet, and the British Army on the Spanish Peninsula.Ĭarla’s interested in the Regency Era is mainly fueled by her scholarly interest in the Napoleonic Wars on land and sea. Carla has made certain types of Regencies her own, particularly novels and stories about people who are not lords and ladies. Carla is best known for her Regency Romances, those novels of manner and wit, made popular more than two centuries ago by Jane Austen.
