Charles J Harwood


Biography

I have written three novels to date: The Shuttered Room, Falling Awake and A Hard Lesson, all available on Kindle as well as hard copies. I have written a blog, offering advice on writing, and a website on the general craft of writing.

I love writing stories, as I always seem to have vivid ideas for characters and the stories they generate. I am working on my fourth novel.
