The Available Wife Part 2 (The Available Wife Series)
Carla S. Pennington was born and raised in Prichard, Alabama where she continues to reside with her family. In 1995, she graduated from Mattie T. Blount High School, an all black school. She became a teen mother in 1992 and was advised that she couldn t return to school for an entire semester after giving birth. This devastated Carla, but she refused to be held back. Her dedication and hard work paid off. She ranked number five in her graduating class and received an advanced diploma with honors. In 2002, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in journalism from SpringHill College in Mobile, Alabama. After graduation, Carla decided not to pursue her career in journalism. Her heart and mind was set elsewhere. She wanted to write fiction novels and short stories, something that she had been doing since she was a young girl. In 2005, Carla published her first novel, Fling and from there several short stories which appeared in anthologies across the country. Finally, she landed a deal with Life Changing Books which is set to release the wildly anticipated novel, the Available Wife in January 2011. In 1996, Carla was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Over the years, the disease has halted her, but she refuses to let it stop her. She is currently working on a number of other projects that she plans to have published in the near future.
