Charlene also 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.

A note from Charlene,
When I'm not writing, my husband Jerry and I spend our free time traveling. Here we are in Maui at our favorite vacation spot at the Westin Villas on Ka'anapali Beach.
