Charlotte has done interesting things and held various jobs, all which created fodder for her writing. She has been a technical writer for AT&T and Bell Labs, Founder/CEO of a nonprofit, an engineer, a flutist in an orchestra, and owner/operator of her formalwear alterations business. She also home schooled her two children to the high school level. She now writes, sews, and cooks a lot. Food finds its way into most of her stories.
