Carla
Carla is a born-again bookworm. Becoming a mom is what drove her back into the love of reading. Starting with the love of Romance books but now she enjoys any epic tales that are well written. She's a mom of three, a wife, and resides in Central Florida. Hurricane news doesn't scare her but finding out a second book in a series doesn't come out for another year will send her into a real panic. Sending her chocolate and another great book works best to support her through such times.
