My Story

Carlie Yates has been writing stories since she was in the fifth grade, convinced that if she didn’t get her thoughts and characters down on paper, her head would ‘plode; it could be ex- or im-, but either way, it wouldn’t be pretty.

Inspired by S.E. Hinton, she always said that when she grew up, she would be a published author.

Carlie is currently working on “Lucky Now,” a romantic suspense novel.
