There are some things you just can’t shake: boxers over briefs, an innate love of liverwurst, Truman’s hat size (7-3/8), and the pernicious desire to write. So that’s what I do, and it’s a good thing, because (based on my resume) I seem egregiously unsuited to do much else.
I live in my hometown with my husband, two cantankerous cats, and four generous chickens. This is where I spend my time spinning yarns.
Thank you for visiting me here, and thank you for reading...from the bottom of my heart!
AUGUST
We all have a dark side that whispers secret stories. Don't we? Carla may love the quirky families of Anne Tyler and the ethereal prose of Marilynne Robinson, but August wants lots of Anne Rice and Cormac McCarthy. Carla loves Cold Mountain; August loves binge re-runs of The Walking Dead.
Working from a tiny garret overlooking the lovely Myrtle Grove Cemetery, August prefers to write novels longhand while sipping bitterly strong tea and wearing an atrocious pair of bedroom slippers.
