Charlotte Dhark began writing as a way to maintain sanity and even possibly escape reality for a brief period, but it soon turned into a passion that couldn't be sated. She is convinced that being married to the same man for 20 years and not having committed mass mayhem is nothing short of a miracle and should probably produce some highly lucrative writing endeavors. When asked how old she is, Charlotte will smile, nod and say, "Old enough to know better, but still young enough to really not care!" This viewpoint is what has helped her keep up with her husband, five children and the family cat all these years.
