About Charlene

Charlene Mossman began inventing imaginary humans at a young age. She had so much fun with her stories, she wanted to share, so she wrote them down. Twelve novels and an English degree later, she’s still going. Between bursts of creativity, she escapes into video games, laces up her hiking boots, or jumps in her kayak. She currently lives in California, where she rents a room from her cat. If you can’t find her in the mountains, look for her at the beach.

She publishes fanfiction online under the alias “Amber River.”

The Good Apple Promise

To me, finding graphic content in a book is like discovering a moldy apple in the bottom of my shopping bag: one bad apple ruins the whole bunch. I am committed to creating fun, magical stories that illuminate truth with compassion. Wholesome entertainment is the name of the game. None of my stories contain language, graphic violence, torture, detailed abuse, bedroom scenes, or descriptive intimacy. I also try to avoid politics and preaching. I believe in showing truth in a kind and respectful way. My characters are human. Sometimes they make gray choices. While I do have an affinity for tortured souls, I like to walk with them gently in their search for light.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29 (NIV)
