At
what point did you first consider yourself a writer? I actually
remember the exact moment this happened. I was working full time when my
book, Breeders, hit the best sellers list. Later that week, I'd gone
out to dinner with some of the family and friends and I was asked what I
did for a living and I replied, "I'm a writer."
Do
you write about things similar to your own life experiences? Yes. I
also use some of my friends' antics in my stories as well.
If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor? Dean Koontz, hands down. I just think he's amazing!
Are there
any new authors that have grasped your interest? Yes, I have recently
fallen in love with two indie authors... C.E. Black and D.X. Luc. Ms.
Black writes PNR and Ms. Luc write paranormal erotica. I'll admit that
they have become my most recent addictions.
What are you currently working on? Can
you give us a sneak peek? Oh boy... I am currently working on six
different novels at the moment. One of them being Breeders 3, which I
know my fans are ecstatic about! You want a peak... hmmm... ok but just a
small one.
The sun was just starting to dip below the hill line of the valley
turning the sky into varying shades of red, purple, pink and orange. The hills
were heavily shadowed but there was still enough visible green to contrast the
setting sun. Dropping down onto her knee, Navae pulled out her camera and
immediately began snapping pictures. She changed angles and positions, dancing
around like a kid in a candy store. Backing up against the tree line, she
wanted to capture not only the valley but some of the cliff they were standing
on as well. But when she lifted the camera up to her eye, the sight she caught
in the lens was far more breathtaking than anything nature had to offer. Austin
stood off to the side with his back facing the valley. His arms were crossed over
his well defined chest and his cornflower blue eyes were trained on her. The
light that shined with in those gorgeous baby blues was more brilliant in that
moment than the sun would ever be. Unable to resist the temptation that he
wrought, Navae snapped several pictures of Austin both at a distance and up
close. If this was the only moment they were to have together, she wanted to
make sure she never forgot the way he stared at her. To feel so desired, even
for just a fraction of a second lifted her spirits higher than they’d been in a
while.
Do you see writing as a career?
Do you write full time? Or in addition to another job? I do see it as a
career. As a matter of fact I write full time while simultaneously being
a stay at home wife.
Do you have a cover artist you’ve
worked with that you’d like to give props to? Yes!! I work with the
amazingly talented Erin Dameron-Hill. She's an amazing artist and I
truly believe that her work on Breeders was what captured the eyes of
the thousands that read it.
What was the hardest part of writing
your book(s)? Actually writing them. Coming up with the ideas for the
stories is the easy part.

Here's a peek at Charlie's recent release:
Children of Kria: Fury (Dark Fantasy)
I am a seeker of vengeance;
A mender of broken hearts.
I respond to the siren call of loneliness and despair. I was once a human woman;
Very much like you; Until my heart was destroyed by the man I loved.
My only purpose now is to avenge those that have been betrayed. I am Fury…
And hell has nothing on me.
