Hi, and welcome to the website of author Carla Stewart. I’m so glad you’re here.
Nothing delights me more than the many roles I play . . . wife, mom, Mimi, daughter, sister, friend, and for a few years now . . . writer. My passion is to share hope in a skid-marked world through the written word.
If you’re with me so far, grab a cup of coffee and enter the sometimes imaginary, always surprising, world I live in. If you browse around you’ll find out about me, read some of my published articles, get the inside scoop on my family’s most-requested recipes, view a slideshow or two of my favorite people, and if you’re a fellow writer—a page just for you with resources and links to help you in your journey.
My blog, Carla’s Writing Café, is where I share news, host fun contests, and talk about writing and books. You can receive the posts as they happen by subscribing in the box at the bottom of this page. I’d love to see you there.
Connecting with readers is my passion, so I’d love to hear about you. Drop me a line anytime, okay?
Recent News
My first novel, Chasing Lilacs, will release in June, 2010. I’m excited about working with the fine folks at FaithWords (Hachette Book Group) and holding this novel of my heart in my hands. A second novel (title to be determined) will be on its way soon after that (Spring, 2011) with the same publisher.
Chasing Lilacs is a novel about a girl growing up in Texas in the 1950s, struggling with her faith and identity in light of her mother’s mental illness and the family dynamics that result from her mother’s suicide.
I can’t wait for you to take this nostalgic trip with me in my book and learn about Sammie Tucker, her friends, and her community. When I have the cover design, I’ll post it here.
God Bless.
