Beverly and Tamara: Welcome to SSLY Charlotte. Thanks so much for joining us today. So first why don’t you tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Charlotte Howard, I’m a housewife and mother of two young children, and a writer! I live in Somerset and my first full-length novel ‘Seven Dirty Words’ has just been published.

Tamara: What do you HAVE to have when you are writing?

A cup of tea. In a big mug!

Beverly: When did you start to write?

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. A poem I wrote when I was 10, was published in an anthology, and I’ve had chapters and articles published in anthologies and on the internet since 2008.

Tamara: What do you think are the qualities that make up a “hero”?

I think the hero has to be brave, but not necessarily aware of their bravery…
