edit data

Carla Caruso was born in Adelaide, Australia, and only ‘escaped’ for three years to work as a magazine journalist and fashion stylist in Sydney.
Previously, she was a gossip columnist and fashion editor at Adelaide’s daily newspaper, The Advertiser. She has since freelanced for titles including Woman’s Day, That’s Life and Marie Claire.
These days, she writes fiction in between playing mum to twin sons Alessio and Sebastian, making fashion jewellery, and restoring vintage furniture. Oh, plus checking out her online horoscopes, jogging, and devouring trashy TV shows

Carla Caruso and 4 other people liked Fiona Lowe's review of Burnt Out: "A fun romp with a good character arc. Reminded me of Maggie Alderson’s Pants on Fire … perhaps because of the Point Piper and fashion references. Perfect summer read ! (Out Jan 5th 2022 Harper Fiction) "
