Hey, how's it going? My name is Carla. I live south of the beautiful emerald city of Seattle, Washington, called Lacey. It's within a few miles of Olympia, our state's capitol. I grew up in-between the Baltimore Raven's and the politics of Washington D.C., in a town called Columbia, Maryland. I am a lucky bicoastal woman with all kinds of experiences, that I have written about in short stories and poems since childhood, as I got older other genres ended up in my work. It is exciting to finally find a place to present my work and receive open, honest and helpful criticisms. This is how we improve, right? In return, I will do the same.
