About

Hi,

 

I'm Charmain, and I live in a pretty market town in Hampshire in the UK with my partner, four children, two cats, and countless chickens and ducks.  Actually, I was very tempted to write and a partridge in a pear tree at the end of that sentence, but that would be silly (although I just wrote it).

I write in the horror/fantasy/mystery genre, under my full name Charmain Marie Mitchell.  The first book I wrote was called 'The Lust for Blood' and is an anthology of 13 very graphic and gory horror stories, the book is currently free in the UK and USA and its been downloaded about 25,000 times.

I am currently writing the 'Vampire' series of books, the first book being 'Vampire - In the Beginning'.  The story is about the five hundred year old vampire called Gwen and her life, starting in Tudor England, the series will follow her journey until present time.  'Vampire - In the beginning is currently free in the UK and USA and it's been downloaded about 12,000 times.  I have just released the second book 'Vampire - Child of Destiny' and I have been blown away by it's popularity and great reviews.

I've also started a new series of books called 'Mary Howard, Supernatural Investigator', which should be ready for release in April/May 2014 and then I will be continuing with the 3rd book in the 'Vampire' series, which should be available in October 2014.

Here are just a few of the 5* reviews I have received for the books mentioned above:

 

The Lust for Blood:

USA:

By Stacia Isaac

Format:Kindle Edition
This was an amazing collection of short stories that grasped my attention from the very first page! It's filled with gore and grotesque images that help the reader become more engrossed with each stories, all while having a sort of realistic slash fantasy realm incorporated. If you like any of these things as I do, this book is pure grotesque perfection, accompanied with nightmarish endings!

Vampire - In the Beginning
 
USA:
By April Reynolds
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This story is about a woman that has lived as a vampire for over 500 years that is writing out her life and how she became a vampire until the here and now. I think this book is very good and very detailed. The author makes you want to keep reading into the next book. recommended for ages 13 and up only because of a few gore scenes!

Finally, I'd just like to say thank you for taking the time in reading about me, and I hope if you have read my books that really you enjoy them.
 
Hope to hear from you soon.

Description

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>
