Charlotte Boyett-Compo

Charlee is the author of eighty books, the first ten of which are the WindLegend Saga. She was married 43 years to her high school sweetheart, Tom, until his untimely death in April 2009. She is the mother of two grown sons, Pete and Mike, and the proud grandmother of Preston Alexander and Victoria Ashley.

A native of Sarasota, Florida, Charlee was adopted at birth and grew up in Colquitt and Albany, Georgia. She says of her heritage: "I was born in Florida and raised in Georgia so that makes me an official Sunshine Cracker!" She now lives in the Midwest where she enjoys the changing of the seasons.

Her hobbies are writing, watching dark fantasy movies and television series, and quietly communing with her adorable husband, Buddha Belly, as he guides her gently from somewhere beyond the here and now. She is owned and operated by eight cats who allow her to only leave the house for catnip, kitty kibble, and clumping kitty litter.

She collects statues of the Grim Reaper, Anubis, gargoyles, and windchimes. One of her prized possessions is a Grim Reaper windchime sent to her by a fan from England.
