Nice to meet you!

Charlotte Brothers is a pen name borrowed from my grandmothers’ names.

I am grateful to add story-crafting to my many romantic life experiences. Life has its ups and downs, and the ups for me have included rather ordinary, wonderful things like mothering, wife-ing (should be a verb), reading, traveling, cottage gardening and an art career, which carried me and my family to Italy for a couple of years.

I grew up with a book in my hand, often a classic or high fantasy adventure with a strong romantic subplot. As a young adult I took a hiatus from most fiction in favor of lots and lots of art books. But one particularly dreary January day, my husband bought me a first official romance novel and I've been reading and writing romance ever since.
