Welcome to my world of storytelling, where imagination meets inspiration. I'm Carla Pahl, an author passionate about crafting tales that captivate and connect. My journey into writing wasn't straightforward. As a child with a "lazy right eye," my world was often a blur, forcing me to rely heavily on my mind's eye. This challenge became a gift, as it nurtured a vivid imagination every time a story was read to me. Books like "The Magic Faraway Tree" and "The Adventures of the Wishing Chair" by Enid Blyton inspired incredible mindscapes, despite the pages being a mere blur of colours.​

Writing was my passion, but my early attempts were marred by poor spelling and grammar. I still chuckle at the memory of my "modern fairy tail" essay, which my English teacher used as a class example, much to my embarrassment. Her words were a blow to my confidence, but thankfully, another teacher reignited my love for literature. His passionate teaching of "Romeo and Juliet," complete with dramatic desk-jumping, showed me the power of words and storytelling.

Years later, during the pandemic lockdown, I penned "Petals, Mud, and Dandelion Tuft" in an afternoon. Encouraged by my mentor, Sara Montrose, I found the courage to publish and share my stories with the world. Today, I write not only fiction but also insightful non-fiction parenting books, driven by a belief in the transformative power of stories.

Thank you for joining me on this literary journey. I hope my stories inspire your imagination and bring you joy.
