Long Bio:
Charlene Antrobus was born and raised in the UK where, the mostly, cold and rainy weather likely had much do with her believing that vampires might just be real! Reading has always been one of Charlene’s favourite things to do especially when she and her nan used to swap books to see who could read them the fastest! A memory she treasures dearly now that her nan has dementia.
After attending theatre school for four years, teaching performing arts for five and spending most of her life crafting pieces of poetry and writing songs it was no surprise that she would one day discover a love of writing stories. After dipping her toes in the world of self-publishing In 2012, under a pen name, Charlene realised that she actually loved everything about this industry but needed to take the time to develop her craft and research what it actually took to become an author. So, she unpublished her novels and started a new journey.
Fast forward to 2025, after Charlene fell in love with books like Red Queen, Legendborn, Fourth Wing and Spark of the Everflame, she now obsessively creates romantic fantasy worlds where women that look like her go on epic journeys, fight battles and get the guy.
