The use of wind in all her titles in one fashion or another is a tribute to her being born under the Gemini zodiac sign, representative of the air. She loves the play of the wind against her face, the sound it makes on a cold winter day as it skirls through the eaves, and the sight of it causing the tall prairie grasses to sway. "It is nature's vacuum cleaner," she says.

Charlee writes for Ellora's Cave, Cerridwen Press, New Concepts Publishing, Phaze Books, Twilight Times Publishing, and Samhain Publishing and is currently at work on her 70th novel.
