Hi! I’m Carmen.

I’m a multi-genre writer and reader, educator, and lifelong learner. I begged my mom to teach me to read at age 4 and haven’t stopped devouring books since.

I’m revising my second novel, a Gothic horror-romance set in a (fictionally) infamous haunted house. You can check out my published short stories here.

I’ve lived in 18 places in 36 years and am now based in Germany with my husband and our two sons. I hold graduate degrees in history and in education, and I love hiking, photography, and discovering new coffee shops.
