The Heart Behind the Stories

I'm Carla Susan Smith, writer of paranormal, historical and fantasy romance who calls South Carolina home. When not weaving new worlds, I'm working through my ever-growing to-be-read list or searching the internet for rhubarb recipes, and watching cute animal videos - who knew owls were so adorable? 

My Writing

I weave tales of passion, mystery, and adventure, primarily within paranormal romance, while also exploring historical romance, fantasy, and time travel. My stories are rich with love that defies time and fate, inviting you to fall in love with the characters and worlds I’ve created.

Writing paranormal and historical romance presents its challenges. My endings may not always meet expectations, but I encourage you to persevere-nothing worthwhile comes easily.
