- Author • Writer • Storyteller
Wife, mom, lover of people. Chaos manager — and proud creator of bold stories with grit, heart, and just enough wildly insane mischief.
I write the kind of stories that sneak into your soul wearing combat boots and red lipstick. I write for the fighters, the sisters, the survivors — the ones who carry communities and still find time to dance in the kitchen.
If you like your fiction fierce, fearless, and a little rebellious, you’re in the right place. Welcome!
Charlotte Swann is a wife, mom, and fierce believer in people — especially the bold, the silenced, and the beautifully complicated.
She writes fiction with grit and soul, spinning stories where sisterhood leads the charge and justice sometimes shows up wearing heels or a chef’s coat. Raised where the concrete ends and the front porches begin, Charlotte’s work is rooted in community and fueled by purpose.
Her characters don’t whisper. They stomp, shout, and shake the table — because playing small was never the assignment. Whether she’s unearthing hidden cities of resistance or cooking up liberation one chapter at a time, Charlotte writes for anyone who’s ever had to fight to be seen, heard, or whole.
If you love layered storytelling with heart, edge, and just the right amount of holy mischief — you’re in the right place.
Cassandra Boucher, known as Zandra to the few she trusts, was born with a sharp mind, a sharper blade, and a past lined with silence. Raised between secrets and survival, she now operates inside a covert society buried beneath the surface of everyday life – a place known only as the Hidden District. Founded by Jean’Vieve DuBois, a woman who traded protest signs for battle plans, this underground network fights for those failed by the system, forgotten by justice, and erased by red lines.
Zandra wears many coats – one of them being culinary genius – but her chef’s jacket is stitched with blood. Her “clients” don’t book appointments; they beg for salvation. Whether it’s confronting a corrupt official or avenging the murder of her best friend’s son, Zandra blends in, strikes hard, and disappears without a trace.
But as she unearths layers of betrayal, generational wounds, and a conspiracy meant to silence her circle for good, Zandra learns that power always comes with a cost. Especially when enemies realize they can’t touch her – but they can destroy the ones she loves.
Hidden District is a searing, genre-bending thriller that fuses psychological depth, dark humor, and a deadly sisterhood of justice-seekers. In these pages, survival is strategy, legacy is war, and the streets don’t forget.
My writing journey begins with knowing that I don’t just write characters — I write survivors. Fighters. People who walk through fire and still manage to laugh on the other side. The ones who carry generations of silence, strength, and sacrifice — and still show up with heart. I know them because I’ve been raised by them, stood beside them, and at times, had to become them.
