For those who don't know, Charlotte Hawkins is a pen name. I use it when writing my romance novels. My real name is Sarah Pawley (That's for my literary works) but feel free to call me either. I'm a Guy of Gisborne fan and a hopeless romantic. My favorite book is Jane Eyre. (Don't get me going on it. I might not stop) I'm a movie nerd. Heck, I'm just a nerd in general, but I'm not ashamed of it. Writing is my passion, but I also love gardening and the outdoors. I enjoy a quiet life in the country.

"The Tempest" was self-published in 2010, to more success than I expected, and it continued with "My Lady Gisborne" in 2011. The kindness and enthusiasm of fans has been a nice suprise for me, and I hope it continues when I publish "The Baron's Lady" later this spring. I'll keep everyone updated, I promise.

As for my real name and my other works...and the reason for a pen name...here's the story on that:
I have two literary novels under my real name. One is called "Oh, That I Had Wings" and is here on Wattpad. It's a love story, but also a rather dark drama, set around World War One, about a young man's triumph over adversity. The sequel is called "Finding Grace" and was actually the first book I wrote (That's another story).These two books are very personal to me, because they are based on real people and experiences. Compared to my romance novels, they may seem quaint...even boring to some, but they were a great source of personal expression for me.

As for the pen name? It allows me to write and share my more mature work without concern of offending others. For some, what they don't know won't hurt them. :)

Hope I didn't ramble too much! Questions? Comments? Feel free to drop me a line!
