Charlotte has been telling stories since she could talk-about imaginary animals, and the occasional invisible friend. Her love of stories was sparked by her grandmother's enchanting voice reading nursery rhymes from a book that seemed bigger than Charlotte herself.From living room performances with her siblings to traveling the country with puppets, clowns, and a suitcase full of tales, Charlotte has shared her stories with wide-eyed children everywhere. Whether in a cozy classroom, or a bustling auditorium, she believes every good story can capture the imagination, transport, inspire, and teach.With a degree in Early Childhood, Elementary, and Reading Education, Charlotte spent years teaching children to read and fall in love with books-just like she once did. Charlotte is also a credentialed minister of Christian Education, where her love for nurturing young hearts and minds through story and spiritual growth naturally intertwine. She's been married to her favorite adventure partner, Wayne, for 55 years. They've raised two wonderful children, adore their five grandchildren, and are already dreaming up stories to share with future great-grandchildren. When not writing, Charlotte enjoys horseback riding, antiquing, and camping in her vintage camper (which, rumor has it, might be a cozy western retreat).
