Charlie is a writer, poet, housewife, and mother, but not necessarily in that order.
While she hasn’t worked at a regular job since her kids were born, she spent thirty years as an event planner, organizing and running science fiction, fantasy, and horror conventions. She also spent a decade acting in musicals. Now she prefers to stay at home with her family, write novels, short stories, and poetry. She runs a fleet of online text-based roleplaying simulations.
Mostly blind due to a degenerative eye disease, she collects print books for her library and audiobooks for herself.
She is a member of SFWA, HWA, SFPA, and LUW. She is a founding member of the Utah Chapter of the Horror Writers Association.
She lives in Utah with her “seeing-eye husband,” youngest son, two of his friends, and two cats, who also consider themselves to be children.
