Carmen has always had a love of words, spending many summers of her childhood reading as many books as she could get her hands on. Her love of reading led to a love of writing, which started out with keeping diaries and journals since age ten, and ultimately led to her desire to write a novel. She was born and raised in Southern California, and still lives there with her husband.
“I loved the story line of Participant but I loved the characters even more. The young women in this book are so relatable. They each have their characteristics that make you love them, but then their little quirks that just make you want to smack them. A lot like the people you know in real life! I enjoyed following them on their journey. If you've ever questioned yourself, felt stuck in a dead end job or wondered what the heck you were doing with your life, you will relate to and enjoy this book.”

“I adored this book. Every 20-something woman will relate to Alexis, who struggles to find her purpose in life. Most of us have worked jobs we hate, simply because we don't know what else to do, and we've all experienced heartbreak. The author reminds us with this well-written story that we should never lose hope, and that we can find new beginnings in the most unusual places.”
