About

Cara Viola

In my day job, I'm a UX Writer and nonfiction ghostwriter.

At night, I write place-focused and historical fiction.

That's me reading from the opening chapter of my novel The Exhibition (Greenteeth Press, Oxford, 2021)

My full name is Cara Viola Bland. I'm British-German, now back to living in the Ruhrgebiet after having lived in the UK and Luxembourg for 15 years. I went to Oxford. I love gardening, dancing, and writing books (duh), my own and other people's.
