Charlene Tess co-writes thrilling romantic suspense novels with her sister Judi Thompson. The sisters combined their two last names into the pen name Tess Thompson.
Their novels are psychological romantic mysteries combined with tender love stories and compelling characters that readers will long remember.
The heroines are independent intelligent women who are attracted to strong, caring men. It doesn’t hurt that the men are also virile and easy on the eyes.
Charlene is an English and creative writing teacher who also writes grammar workbooks and lessons. Her highly acclaimed series of grammar eBooks, Simple Steps to Sentence Sense, is widely used.
Charlene is married to the love of her life and has two daughters and three grandsons.
She loves to read and is usually reading a book, listening to an audiobook, and writing a book all at the same time. It can get a little confusing.
