Louise Charles

Biography

Louise Charles writes fiction, in the short and long form. She has had short stories published in Peoples Friend, My Weekly, Anthologies and several on-line e-zines and fiction sites. She is now dedicating her pen, ink and paper to her novels, four of which are in varying states of completion. Louise self published her début novel, ‘The Duke’s Shadow‘ on 1st March 2014.

Louise lives in rural Le Marche in Italy where she shares her writing space with two large Italian sheepdogs – Freya and Bertie , two adopted cats – Daisy and Tigsy, three kittens – Simba, Naala and Cappucino and the occasional visit from one of the hens – Wilma, Georgie and Lily. Her husband, known lovingly as ‘L’uomo Chi Fa‘ ( The Man Who Does) is the source of constant inspiration, provider of food and the odd glass of vino or two.

Louise also created the on-line writing group for ex-pat writers, Writers Abroad, where she finds support and advice on her writing from all over the world. The group has published an annual Anthology for the past four years and all profits have been donated to book charities.

Smashwords Interview

How do you discover the ebooks you read?
I am a member of Goodreads and Wattpad and often choose books based on what other people have read, but I'm always scribbling the name of a book I hear about so I can add it my 'must read' list.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
No I don't, but I do remember loving story writing as a child. Unfortunately, I don't think any of my work from then was kept. But now I keep every little jot I write. I never, ever throw any of it away.
