Hi! I’m Carla.

I write smart, escapist fiction full of glamorous settings, questionable decisions, and plenty of RPBB (rich people behaving badly). Also: spice. (If we’re related, you can just go ahead and stop reading here.)

After years working in finance and tech, I finally returned to my first love—writing. (But we still love the occasional tech-zillionaire send up.)

When I’m not deep in fictional worlds, I share the behind-the-scenes reality of publishing—and free resources for fellow writers—on TikTok and Instagram @carlavass

You can usually find me enjoying a great meal with friends and family, on the back of a horse, or in seat 4368C, heading off on my next adventure.
