A 2004 and 2007 Golden Heart winner, Florida native, Carla Capshaw has wanted to be a writer & world traveler since she was ten years old. A lover of passionate stories with compelling, nearly impossible conflicts, she's found Inspirational Historical Romance is the perfect vehicle to combine lush settings, vivid characters, and a Christian worldview.   Her debut novel will be published by Steeple Hill Love Inspired Historicals in June of 2009.  Currently working on a sequel, she still lives in Florida, but is always planning her next trip...and plotting her next story.
