Charlene lives on an acre in the country with her husband, three children and an array of pets including a snake.
In her spare time you can usually find her typing away franticly on the computer completely lost in worlds of her making. She is an avid believer that it is the small things that truly matter like the feeling you get when you start reading a new book or a particularly beautiful sunset.
Background
She was born in Zimbabwe and moved to South Africa when she was five. At fifteen, she ended up living in Holland for five years before moving back to Africa. She has been lucky to have been exposed to different cultures and surrounds and do feel that this impacts her writing. The one downside of having started her schooling with English as her home language and finishing with Dutch as her first language is that her spelling is atrocious. Thank goodness for spellcheck, beta readers and her wonderful editor.
