I was born in Lincoln, an ancient city in (just about) the north of England. I lived for many years among the numerous historic buildings and Roman remains of Lindum Colonia, as it was once known. I've also lived out in the East Anglian countryside in farmhouses that crumbled a little more by the hour, and gave off the impression of being soundly haunted.

I've loved reading since I was a young child. In fact, it's fair to say that I spent most of my teenage years living in books. When a person spends that much time dreaming in text, taking up writing is the only logical onward step. I like to write fantasy fiction the most, because it gives me all the scope I could want to exercise my powerful (and overindulged) imagination. I also love historical fiction - I can probably thank those years in Lincoln for that.

I live in North Holland these days, among the windmills and the cheese farms and the clear waterways. For the past year I've dedicated most of my time to writing professionally. My first novel, Draykon, is a work of fantasy mixed with mystery/suspense. It's the first in a trilogy; the second and third books (Lokant and Orlind) are available from most major ebook stores (as is Draykon). I also write a series of supernatural mystery novellas, The Malykant Mysteries.

As of April 2013 I'm serialising my new book, Black Mercury, on Wattpad. This is a steampunk fantasy adventure story that's part of another series I write with a few other authors.

Hi readers,

As you may have noticed, I've just started publishing a new story here on Wattpad: my brand new steampunk fantasy adventure, Black Mercury.

This is part of a series of books written in a shared world. I've written one stand-alone adventure, and there are two others by different authors that you can collect if you want (read the preface to chapter one for more details).

The ebook is already published and available in all the usual stores, if you want the whole book right away; or you can read along as I serialise the book here (I will be posting the whole thing). 

Enjoy!

Dear readers: for the last few months I've been quieter than I like to be. I've had some health issues, and this has made it hard to keep up with everything. I know I was slow replying to some of your messages, and I've probably missed a few altogether here and there. I apologise for this.

I am doing better now and I think I'm back on track, so hopefully you'll be hearing from me more often (and without the long delays!). Thanks so much for all your messages, comments, reads and votes - it means a lot to me. 

Happy reading,

Charlotte
