Carla Beene was an army brat and traveled the world before settling down in Colorado. The first time she drove through New Mexico, she fell in love with the vast blue skies, rugged formations, and the starkness of the high desert. Carla found her forever home in Santa Fe.
For twenty-five years, Carla was a teacher and librarian at the New Mexico School for the Deaf. She also taught students with learning disabilities and cerebral palsy. After retiring, Carla earned a degree in Educational Diagnostics. She then tested children on the Navajo reservation and in other cities throughout New Mexico.
She is an active member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Carla is currently working on the Young Adult sequel to The Twin Within
