About Cara

Cara Colleen is my pen name. I have been writing poetry since I was 16. I’m 5′1″, have dark hair and wear glasses–none of which are actually related to each other besides just being details I just decided to throw in. I also play the flute regularly when given the opportunity. I have played since I was 13 and just enjoy making beautiful music. I love to cook, mostly for the kids. I still haven’t gotten the knack of cooking for just two of us without making tons of leftovers. I dabble in sundry crafts, like crotchet, cross-stitch, sewing, and making things that I have a bug to make. I actually have a small wooden knick-knack shelf project on the back-burner right now.

I married John Coble in October of 2004 (see picture below). John has been a GREAT partner and support of my writing and other attempts at creativity. John does computer tech support as a profession. Thanks to him, I’ve gone back to school for a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology. I will finish in May, 2009. In the meantime, we both participate in a Palm users group here in the Nashville area. We also share a weakness for office supplies (I HAVE to browse the pens every time I walk past the aisle!), and other things that might seem trivial to the average person… like 30-year-old Christian music of various flavors.

I have four beautiful children: Hannah, born in 1988, and has already been writing her own poetry for a couple of years; Jonathan, born 1991, ever the reader and who loves to spout knowledge he has learned to whomever is listening; David, born 1994, a perpetual gamer and TV buff; and Zechariah, born 1995, also into TV, but loves to read books, too. They all live with their father in Clarksville. I get to hang out with them every other weekend and some holidays, and they are a really important part of my life.
