Carole Avila

"When I was 3 years old I knew after reading Go, dog. Go! that I would become a writer. It's great to be able to use the written word as a form of creative self-expression. My writing sometimes reflects facets of myself or people I know, both good and not so good. I don't want to limit myself to one genre, and many of my books that are yet to be published are cross-genre."

Carole Avila has won awards for her short stories, memoirs, and poetry, and has had a play produced. In addition to her love of writing, Carole is a fan of reading, playing scrabble, drawing, painting, and walking on natural trails. She loves spending time with her children, grandsons, and her two loyal dogs.

Carole says, "There's nothing better than a 5-star book and a hot chai latte."
