Charity Bee Ames

As a devoted wife and homeschooling mom of over 20 years, she finds joy in crafting sweet romance tales. Her high school years were filled with the delight of reading tender love stories and exploring the wonders of science. Her stories are crafted with a biblical foundation and a touch of science. As you read Charity's stories, you will find relatable characters who navigate the complexities of love, extend forgiveness, offer second chances, share dances, exchange tender kisses, offer warm hugs, and savor life’s simple pleasures. "Charity" is the middle name she gave herself cause her parents forgot to give her one. Bee Ames is a play on her maiden name.

Her Writing Process:

Inspiration: She draws inspiration from everyday activities, whether tending to her garden or bouncing on the trampoline.
Character Creation: Her goal is to create authentic and relatable characters that readers can connect with.
Plot: She outlines the story's core, carefully adding crucial elements to bring it to life.
Editing: Much like gardening, she prunes and refines her characters and plots to reveal the story in its purest form.
Polishing & Publishing: She incorporates feedback, perfects the details, and prepares her work for publication.
