Author
National Bestselling Author, London St. Charles has always had a passion for the pen, paper, and books. She is a Chicago native who uses the Windy City as a backdrop to the contemporary women’s fiction, crime fiction, interracial romance, and suspense stories she writes. London has contributed to two anthologies, Sugar and Just One Kiss, and one series, Kings of the Castle with New York Times and USA TODAY Bestselling authors. Her debut novel, The Husband We Share, hit the AALBC Bestsellers List within six months of release and was followed by her recent literary offerings: Betrayal of Trust, King of Chatham, Sugarcoated Deception, and Deadly Deception. She is a beta reader and a proud member of several writer’s groups. She began writing short stories at the age of eight. Using construction paper and a hole punch, London would bind the stories together with yarn and tape and would give them to her mother as gifts. That zest for writing followed London into high school where she took an elective Advanced Writing Class, which further fed her creative mind. She also wrote poetry, which she still has, typed and dated in a binder to this day. Driven by wanting to be more present in her children’s lives, she resigned from her successful sixteen-year career as a Pharmacy Technician and opened a business as a Licensed Childcare Provider. She has found tremendous joy in securing a safe and loving environment for families seeking affordable childcare for their little ones, while being available to her family as well. When not writing, you can find London spending time with her loving husband, children, and mother, playing Spades, catching a basketball game, binge-watching one of her favorite shows on Netflix, or with her nose stuck in a book.
