Charlotte Blackwell
Charlotte Blackwell author of The Embrace Series
is delighted to have the opportunity to
follow her dreams of writing. She would love to share a little bit
about her self with you now.
Charlotte was born in October of
1976. On the day of her birth Charlotte's father was racing stock
cars, while her two older sister's watched from the stands as their
father crashed through the wall of the race track. Within moments
the stock car he was driving came back through the wall, and he won
the race. He took his two daughters and hurried to the hospital for
the birth of his third daughter,
Charlotte.
Raised
in Edmonton, Alberta, Charlotte enjoyed swimming, singing (although
not so great at it) and writing her thoughts down. She
never shared her passion for writing with anyone, and it got put on
the back burner. As Charlotte grew, she found a new passion in
medicine, she became the athletic trainer for her high school men's
basketball team. Helping the team through their injuries are some
of her best memories as a teen.
After
the birth of he first daughter Jorden, Charlotte moved to Calgary,
Alberta where she returned to college for her
practical nursing certificate. During her schooling Charlotte
became pregnant her second daughter,
Shawnee. Due to complications, Charlotte was put on bed rest and
have to step away from school. Shawnee was born and not breathing,
the staff worked to resuscitated the small
baby, and succeeded. Charlotte returned to school only six weeks
later and completed her course. She began working with children,
and eventually in the special care nursery for ill and pre-term
babies.
Charlotte and James finally decided to get
married in 2005 and completed their family with a son, Lucas in
2006 who was born six weeks early and had
three surgeries by one month old. Today all
three of their children are happy, healthy and very active, Jorden
is a very talented dance and singer who performs with The Young
Canadians and performs at the Grandstand
show nightly during the Calgary Stampede, she is also home
schooled. Shawnee was a competitive gymnast and is now taking an interest in the arts .Both girls are honor
students on top of their activities. Lucas is still young, but has
been enjoying kick boxing and wants to try his hand at
hockey.
Charlotte and James live with their children, two
huskies and two cats just outside of Calgary, Alberta. They cherish
every moment they have together as a family and hope to soon travel
the world. James and the children have been great
supporters of Charlotte from day one and continue to cheer her on
along the way. Shawnee has also tried her hand at writing and
recently completed
an illustrated children's book. I guess
writing is in her blood.
Charlotte has a strong passion for young adult
novel especially those in the paranormal or dark fantasy genre's.
As she continues to work on The Embrace Series, Charlotte is also
working on a mainstream romance and a science fiction novel
involving alternate universes. She will continue to up
date this site with her work and what is next, and she thanks you
all for your support and
encouragement.
