Carey Anderson was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she currently resides. Carey comes from a large family, which is often reflected in the world she created with multiple multi-dimensional characters. Her current passion is African American Romantic Fiction; one day she will add romantic suspense, and children’s books to her resume.
Carey began the Wallace Family Saga as a doodle on her cell phone. Within five years that doodle turned into a complete sixteen book series (most of which can be read as standalone books). The series spans over fifty years into the lives of the Wallace and Latour family story that came to a climatic end when the finale was released in February 2018.
During this time Carey also managed to write

You can shed light and understanding on people and circumstances that sometimes we may be quick to judge and not exert understanding.
Also, I like the ability to control the outcome of things that are normally out of my control.
ALSO, I'm a long winded person by nature. When you write the more context around your point, the better it's understood. (less)

Repeating

 I feel like I keep repeating myself. I'm still here. Hey howdy! I'm still here. You know what it is? I don't think there is a person alive who isn't feeling the pinch of life as we know it. I had to tap out and seek some help. I'm still leaning into that. 

Meanwhile, I'm writing again. Not at the rate that I used to write, but that's a good thing. I don't know if it's this computer or the site, bu

This was my first book by this author. The book touches on some real-life problems that couples are facing. Keila and Tamir's story sounds like a young love story turned upside down by an unplanned pregnancy. I didn't like how" Read more of this review »

Great love story! I enjoyed this book as well as the first in the series. I honestly thought there would be more from the ex, but it was just enough. Keep up the good work.

Carey Anderson Help, I need an honest review of my book, "At Last". How do I find someone to review my book?

At Last, is a Urban Fiction book set in the late 40's - early 60's in the San Francisco Bay Area. This story is about a family ahead of it's time. The Wallace's unlike their southern roots believe that all people are equal. The Wallace's are a well to do family that dabble in some not so straight forward practices.
Annette was born and raised in Kansas until her father was suddenly killed. Her Aunt Dorothy sent for Annette's family to come to California for something better.
Tim falls in love with Annette the moment he lays on her, and where Tim doesn't see color when he looks at Annette, he soon finds that color is the first thing everyone else see when they look at him. Most people, even Annette, question why this handsome white man loves Annette so much.

If you are interested in reviewing this BWWM Urban Fiction Novel please contact me as soon as possible. Please and thank you.
