Beaulah is a New Zealand author who published her first young adult fantasy novel, The Silver Hawk, in 2010. Following this, she taught writing classes and supported many young people to publish their own short stories in a series of school anthologies.
Due to a shift in career focus to ecology and environmental science, Beaulah now uses the pen name Charli Kempton for all fiction writing, including stories set in the world established in the Silver Hawk.
