About Charlotte

Once upon a time, I was a Canadian lawyer, powering my days with caffeine and good intentions. After twenty-five years of long hours and late nights at a computer, I decided it was finally time to write fiction.

These days, I’m an award-winning mystery writer. The caffeine habit remains, and so do the long days and late nights. Now, though, they’re spent in the company of fictional people who insist on getting themselves into trouble and making me sort it out.

I can tell you with complete confidence: this is much more fun than practising law.

My husband and I live in a small town on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. It’s often sunny… except when it’s not. He adores grey skies and foggy days. I was born and raised in Alberta, the land of wide blue winter skies, so when the fog rolls in, you’ll often find me under a quilt, waiting it out.

When I’m not grousing about our local “liquid sunshine,” I’m probably listening to Bob Dylan, Ian Tyson, Queen, Willie Nelson, or ZZ Top. I might also be watching curling (a prairie upbringing requirement) or cheering on the Blue Jays.

If you’d like to stay in touch, I’d love that. You can subscribe to my newsletter using the button below. I promise stories, the occasional behind-the-scenes glimpse, and no legal advice whatsoever.
