​

In 1980, a vivid dream inspired Charlene Raddon to launch her writing career. Her first novel, a time-travel romance, is still awaiting its debut. Her second book, Tender Touch (Brianna), won the Colorado Gold historical division and later became an RWA Golden Heart finalist. This success earned her a three-book contract with Kensington Books. In 1999, she temporarily stopped writing after the historical romance market took a nosedive, but reclaimed her rights in 2011 and reissued her backlist as eBooks through Tirgearr Publishing. Print editions of Taming Jenna and Tender Touch were released in 2012. Charlene designs all her own covers. In 2012, she launched silversagebookcovers.com, designing book covers for other authors with a focus on Western historical romances. While growing up near Los Angeles, Charlene longed for life in a small town, and in 1971, she relocated to Utah. Now she balances family life alongside traveling with an ever–growing graphic design business while mentoring other writers.
