Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, Carmen Hendrix began writing at an early age. She is an avid volunteer and very active in community outreach. In 1996, she moved to Coral Gables, Florida and attended the University of Miami where she studied English Creative Writing and Broadcast Journalism. Having faced personal trials while there, Carmen left in 1998, and after a long stint in Texas and an extensive career in Corporate America, she returned to Florida in 2017.

Carmen’s road to becoming a published author was not an easy one, and her life is reflected in her writing. Throughout her years, Carmen’s love affair with words has never wavered and she further cultivated her relationship with writing through the poetry circuit in Mississippi and Texas.

She now introduces you to her book series “When Honeysuckles Fall.” The first book in the series is entitled “When Honeysuckles Fall” and is a collection of short stories containing personal tales, and includes characters that are designed to connect with the audience by relating to life’s experiences. Three novels will be introduced to add to the collection in 2017.

Carmen hopes her writing connects with you as she tackles life’s issues, including forgiveness, and redemption, and she welcomes you with opened arms into her world.
