Charlene Carr is the youngest of four children and the only girl. Living in a house full of boys taught her to fight for what she wants and to always reach higher (you have to when everyone in your family towers above you). She spent much of her childhood creating elaborate, multi-faceted storylines for her dolls and reading under the blankets with a flashlight when she was supposed to be asleep. Pursuing this lifelong obsession with stories, she studied literature at university, attaining both a BA and MA in English, including a study program at Oxford. Still craving more, she attained a degree in Journalism.
A bit of a nomad, she’s lived in four countries and seven Canadian provinces. After travelling the globe and working an array of mostly writing related jobs, she decided the time had come to focus on her true love—novel writing. She lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her husband and daughter. She independently published nine novels. Hold My Girl was her first agented novel and she received grants from Arts Nova Scotia and Canada Council for the Arts to research, write, and revise her forthcoming novel We Rip The World Apart.
