Carla Simpson is an award-winning author whose storytelling spans historical romance, suspense, fantasy, and mystery. She began her writing career with historical romances, several of which have found new life as Kindle editions on Amazon. Her work in the genre earned her three national awards for Best Historical Romance, establishing her as a compelling voice in richly detailed, emotionally driven fiction.
Expanding beyond romance, Carla went on to write two contemporary suspense novels, along with a time travel story, and has had two of her works optioned for film. Her creative range continued to grow with the launch of her Merlin’s Legacy series, a sweeping fantasy saga that now includes seven books, all available in digital format.
When the pandemic brought her previous career to an unexpected close, Carla found herself at a crossroads. Like many, she spent time reimagining her path—and ultimately chose to dive into the world of murder and mystery.
A lifelong lover of history, Carla drew inspiration from the sweeping changes of the Industrial Revolution for her Deadly Series, featuring Angus Brodie and Mikaela Forsythe. Fascinated by the era’s rapid innovation—both its brilliance and its dangers—she crafted a series that explores how these transformations shaped the early twentieth century. Through this unlikely investigative duo, Carla weaves together intrigue, secrets, and slow-burning tension, as they navigate complex cases while attempting to keep their relationship strictly professional… with varying success.
