When it comes to storytelling, Carla Pennington has a natural knack for the craft. Carla found pleasure in reading at a very early age. Stories intrigued her and the writing bug eventually stung her. She began journaling to escape life's challenges. Wanting to change events in her life, she began writing poems that turned into short stories that turned into full blown novels. When she is not pleasing her readers, Carla is spending time with her three children whom she cherishes dearly. Reading, writing and family time keeps her going. These three joys help to keep her health under control as well. At the age of 19, Carla was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). It has been a slight struggle having the disease as an unwanted companion, but Carla delves through it. Always a fighter, she refuses to allow the disease to halt her progress in life. Carla published her first novel, Fling, in 2005. That was just the beginning of her blossoming career. She is now a best selling author under the Life Changing Books publishing House.
