Thanks for stopping by. I’m Karla Brandenburg, I’m married, and had the privilege of raising two children. Now I get to enjoy grandchildren. My assistant is an orange tabby, lovingly referred to as “the blonde cat.”   Raised on the gothic romances of Victoria Holt, I also enjoyed reading Stephen King and Rod Serling, which influences bring supernatural elements into the contemporary romances that I write. I’m a card-carrying cookie-holic and while I don’t like coffee as a rule, I do like all those fun flavors you can get in the individual serving pods. When I’m not at home in Illinois (where I’ve lived all of my life in various of Chicago’s suburbs) I enjoy travel, and many of the places I've visited show up in my stories.
