Charlotte Boyett-Compo was born on June 20th and that makes her a Gemini, an air sign, and she has a real affinity for the "wind", and the word — in one fashion or another — show up in the titles of all of her novels. A native of Sarasota, Florida, grew up in Colquitt and Albany, Georgia and now lives in the Midwest — that makes her an official Sunshine Cracker! 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. She is the willing house slave to five demanding felines who are holding her hostage in her home and only allowing her to leave in order to purchase food, clumping kitty litter and toys for them.

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 six 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.

Charlee is the author of eighty books, the first ten of which are the WindLegend Saga. She published in the speculative fiction genres of dark romance, mystery/thriller, SF/futuristic, horror and erotic romance.
