Hi, I'm Charlie, a dedicated bookworm with a voracious reading appetite. As a writer of children's fiction, I'm a keen advocate and reader of everything from picture books through to middle grade and YA, but my TBR pile is dizzyingly high with everything from environmental essays, classic literature, contemporary fiction, and more. From Claire Keegan's clean prose, to Steinbeck's landscape lyricism, there isn't much I won't pick up and read. I'm drawn to dark and twisted tales, myths and legends, feminism, nature, and complex family dynamics.
