Hey all! I thought I’d make a more personal “About Me” rather than the short, third-person author bio. Just… y’know… in case anyone wants that.
So, hi! I’m Charlotte Anne Hamilton, I was born and bred in Ayrshire, Scotland in a teeny, tiny village known for being a bit rough. I’ve been writing for as long as I’ve been able (I was 4 when I learnt how to type my name on the computer) and the first story I remember writing was about a dog called Pat — Pat the Dog, a total rip-off from FRIENDS but it got me started. I eventually started writing fanfiction, first in the Pirates of the Caribbean fandom, then branching out into others (though most of my work is in the Supernatural fandom writing DeanCas and all the femslash!) It was thanks to this that I realised I was bisexual and on the aroace spectrum as a demisexual and a demiromantic.
Growing up I was convinced I would be a vet, but when my gran’s dog who I loved more than anything, had to be put to sleep, I just realised that it wasn’t actually something I could do. That threw me for a bit and I couldn’t decide where my future lay — especially when paired with some trauma I went through in my high school years with my mother breaking her neck and back. ✌🏻
So I jumped about from an English degree, to joining the Navy or Army, and a million other ideas before a couple of years ago, I realised that my passion is in Physics —Astronomy to be specific. So that’s what I’m currently studying. I’m nearly finished my second year and it’s amazing knowing that this is something I would be happy to spend the rest of my life doing. Even teaching it would bring me joy.
I still love writing and manage to squeeze it in whenever I can. I have spent too long with it in my life to go without it, even if university does keep me suuuuper busy. I still write the occasional fanfic but my heart is now firmly on my own ideas and worlds.
Any moment that isn’t spent studying or writing is usually spent gaming, reading or dabbling in any and all forms of art. Seriously. I love it all: sewing, painting, sketching, embroidery, crafts, sculpting, digital. I am also an eclectic witch so I enjoy spending my free time learning about that and weaving magick into everything that I do.
It can be a little overwhelming, having so many things I want do, especially when I deal with depression, anxiety, CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and chronic pain. But I manage — most of the time — because it’s what I love to do. I also work weekends as a Domestic Assistant at a local hospital.
I am a proud fur mamma to a chocolate labrador, Izzy, and a cutie kitty, Smudge. I also have a fur-brother, a golden labrador called Clyde, and a two fur-nephews: a chihuahua called Ollie and miniature schnauzer called Rico. All of them frequently appear on my instagram.
My best role, however, is being an auntie to my three niblings — Emily, Jack and Rosie.
You can find me on pretty much all social media sites at the handle @cahwrites, but the most common ones are linked above.
