Lea Carter doesn’t remember a time before books. Raised on classic authors like Louis L’Amour, L.M. Montgomery, Emilie Baker Loring, and Isaac Asimov, she has a strong appreciation for clean, character-driven stories.

If book passports existed, she’d have a stack of them, with many return visits to her favorite places and people.

She writes mostly to satisfy her imaginary friends’ desire for fame.
