Charlotte Montague is a freelance writer who specialises in general historyand true crime. Her father was a naval officer and, as a child, she travelled the world with her family. After gaining an M.A. degree in History from Sussex University, she began writing on a variety of subjects including ethnic cultures, travel and music. More recently she developed an interest in the history of mythical creatures. Her current research has taken her to many parts of the globe, including Africa and the Far East. She travels for most of the year, but returns frequently to her home, a remote eighteenth-century cottage close to a famous smuggler's cove on the Cornish coast.
