About Carla Kelly

I started writing Regencies because of interest in the Napoleonic Wars. I like writing about warfare at sea and ordinary people of the British Isles, rather than lords and ladies. In my spare time I like to read British crime fiction and history, particularly the U.S. Indian Wars. I currently live in Utah. I'm a former park ranger, and double Rita Award and Spur Award winner. I have five interesting children and four grands. Favorite authors include Robert Crais and Richard Woodman.

Goodreads review by Mindy B (reader_of_the_lost_arcs) on March 07, 2025

This review is for the audiobook read by Helen Keeley. The narrator is excellent, very similar to Mary Jane Wells. I googled it to see if they are the same person, but I wasn't able to find the answer. She is a joy to listen to. As far as the story, it made me cry about 10 times. My goodness, what Je......more
