CHARLOTTE S. SNEAD holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Duke University and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of North Carolina. OakTara published her first three books: His Brother’s Wife, in 2012, and Recovered and Free and Invisible Wounds, in 2014. Charlotte later received Jan-Carol Publishing’s Believe and Achieve Award for her novel A Place to Live, the first of a scheduled five-book series. While working on the remaining books in the series, she also published her first children’s book, Deano the Dino Goes to the Doctor, in 2018.
Charlotte married her husband, Dr. Joseph Snead, in 1962. They raised five children and a foster daughter and now proudly grandparent ten boys and one girl. One of their children and four of their grandchildren are adopted. Charlotte was the daughter of a career military officer, who served in WWII, and Dr. Snead served in Vietnam. Their son was a career military officer, so Charlotte has a special place in her heart for our military.
In keeping with Charlotte’s strong belief in and celebration of the joys of marriage, family, and writing, she maintains a blog (at www.charlottesnead.com), which has the tagline "Sacred Passion-It’s God’s Idea." Please feel free to contact her there.
