Carmen Lanae'

My name is Carmen Lanae’. I am a 38-year-old Detroit, MI native, born and raised. I

come from a large family consisting of four sisters and three brothers. My family is

extremely important to me. My writing started with poetry at the age of 14. I was

diagnosed with Epilepsy as a teen and writing became my outlet and my voice. It has

helped me overcome depression and acceptance. I never thought I'd get into writing

books, let alone books for children at that. When my siblings started having children, I

completely fell in love with my nieces and nephews and every last one of them became

my muse in their own way. There is much more to come, and I hope that children all

over the world are inspired and learn something from my stories.
