Background
Information
|
|
Charlsie Russell grew up reading Zane Grey, Max Brand, and Frank Yerby and since her teenage years, her tastes have expanded to romance, mystery, and non-fiction, particularly history. Once she retired from the Navy and her children became semi-independent, she delved into writing the kind of fiction she likes to read. After seven years of rejection, she woke up one morning and decided she did not have enough years left on this planet to sit back and hope a New York publisher would one day take a chance on her novels. Thus resolved, she expanded her horizons into the publishing realm with the creation of Loblolly Writer's House, her independent press in Gulfport, Mississippi.
