More About the Author

Charlotte "Charlee" Boyett~Compo began her writing career as an entertainment editor for one of millionaire Warren Buffett's Sun newspapers in Omaha, NE in the early 1970s. Her first novel, The Keeper of the Wind, was released in mass market paperback in 1996. In 1998, BloodWind, NightWind, In the Wind's Eye, Prince of the Wind, WindFall, and WindChance were released a month apart. Since then, she has had over 70 novels published in print and e-book format. There are over twenty of her titles available in Kindle format. She writes for Cerridwen Press, Ellora's Cave, New Concepts Publishing, Phaze Books, Ravenous Romance, and Samhain Publishing. Her website...located at www.windlegends.org...has over 900 reviews of her novels plus synopses and excerpts from her 70+ works.

Charlee writes in the speculative fiction genre with a heavy emphasis on dark fantasy, paranormal romance, and SF/futuristic. Her signature Reaper series of novels have a large fan following. Vampire/werewolf hybrids, Reapers are tall, dark, and handsome tortured heroes with black hair and amber eyes. You can find her Reapers in the WindVerse, WindWorld, DemonWind, and WesternWind series of novels. The award-winning novels all have the word 'wind' in the title in some form or other as a tribute to her husband, Tom: the wind beneath her wings and the love of her life.

Adopted at birth, she was born in Sarasota, FL but was raised in Colquitt and Albany, GA. Because of this, she proudly labels herself a Sunshine Cracker. Married 43 years to her high school sweetheart, she became a widow on April 18, 2009 when her beloved husband...known affectionately to her fans as Buddha Belly...passed away from lung and brain cancer due to exposure to Agent Orange during his tours of duty in Vietnam in the late 1960s. Their two sons, Pete and Mike as well as Pete's son and daughter, Preston and Victoria, live with her in the Heartland of America. The willing caretaker of ten indoor felines, she spends her free time reading, writing, and cleaning litter pans.

This review is from: Nightwind, Book One, Hellwind Trilogy (Paperback)

Syntian Cree is a demon, the NightWind. Who comes from a place where time has no meaning. For many centuries, he has been able to hear a woman's pain. He comes to women with sorrow and pained heavy souls to help them. But unknown to Syntian, someone has made it possible for Lauren Fowler's call to stand out from thousands of others. Once he hears Lauren calling to him, Syntian must avenge her. Not only must Syntian avenge Lauren, he feels he must claim her gentle soul and heart as his.
Lauren is a forty-something year old woman, who's never known the touch of a loving man. For most of her life, people have treated Lauren horribly. Those people even include her mother, Maxine Fowler. Who, for years on end has ingrained in Lauren that men were evil and not to be trusted. But things start to change for Lauren when Syntian Cree comes into town. Lauren notices that Syntian is one of the sexiest men she's every seen and she's not the only one to think so. As time passes, even though good things are happening for her, bad things are happening to those who have disrespected Lauren.

Charlotte Boyett-Compo has managed to write a dark, sensual tale that is very appealing. Readers will find that Syntian Cree is a very interesting character. The things that he does to avenge Lauren are certainly out of the ordinary, dark and scary. It was interesting to read how the tables turned on him. His world crumbled while Lauren's shined brighter than ever. NightWind is quite a lengthy story. It will take a dedicated reader to sit down and stay with the story from beginning to end. The story certainly has a great deal of eye-catching, eye-popping moments that will definitely keep the reader flipping from page to page. I recommend that readers pick up this story and read Charlotte Boyett-Compo's work.
