Charlotte
Blackwell, author of The Embrace Series, is delighted to have
the opportunity to follow her dreams of writing. She would love to
share a little bit about herself with you now.
Charlotte
was born in October of 1976. On the day of her birth, Charlotte's father was
racing stock cars, while her two older sisters watched from the stands as their
father crashed through the wall of the racetrack. Within moments, the stock car
he was driving came back through the wall, and he won the race. He took his two
daughters and hurried to the hospital for the birth of his third daughter,
Charlotte.
Raised in
Edmonton, Alberta, Charlotte enjoyed swimming, singing (although not so great
at it) and writing her thoughts down. She never shared her passion for
writing with anyone, and it got put on the back burner. As Charlotte grew, she
found a new passion in medicine. She became the athletic trainer for her high
school men's basketball team. Helping the team through their injuries are some
of her best memories as a teen.
After the
birth of her first daughter, Jorden, Charlotte moved to Calgary, Alberta where
she returned to college for her practical nursing certificate. During her
schooling, Charlotte became pregnant with her second daughter,
Shawnee. Due to complications, Charlotte was put on bed rest and had to step
away from school. Shawnee was born, but was not breathing. The staff worked
to resuscitate the small baby, and succeeded. Charlotte returned to
school only six weeks later and completed her course. She began working with
children, and eventually in the special care nursery for ill and pre-term
babies.
Charlotte
and James finally decided to get married in 2005 and completed their family
with a son, Lucas, in 2006. Lucas was born six weeks early and had
three surgeries by one month old. Today, all three of their children
are happy, healthy and very active.
Charlotte
and James live with their children and their many animals, just outside of
Calgary, Alberta. They cherish every moment they have together as a family, and
hope to soon travel the world. James and the children have been great
supporters of Charlotte from day one, and continue to cheer her on along the
way.
Charlotte
has a strong passion for young adult novels, especially those in the paranormal
or dark fantasy genres. As she continues to work on The Embrace Series,
Charlotte is also working on a mainstream romance. She will continue to
update this site with her work and what is next, and she thanks you all for
your support and encouragement.
If you would like to contact Charlotte for an interview, speaking engagement, to ask her a question, leave a personal comment, or anything to do with her novels, you can e-mail her at embraceseries@gmail.com. She does her best to reply to everyone.
