Hi there! I’m Charlotte Ruan, teenage self-published author and I wrote ‘Hope of Nightmares’. I love writing and I’m so happy to have fulfilled my dream of publishing my own novel! I’m 13 years old and live in Australia.
I started writing Hope of Nightmares in lockdown 2021, when I was 10 years old and in year 5. Over the past few years there have been many times where I stopped writing my novel for up to half a year at times, but I always came back in the end. I love how invested I became in the magical kingdoms of Eclipse and I’m overjoyed I can share my books with people all over the world now!
I’m planning to make the series of Eclipse a total of 5 books long, and I’m hoping to finish the series before I graduate high school!
Apart from writing, I also love playing basketball and I’ve been playing the flute for a few years. I recently started learning piano and I write all the time in my diary. I have over 20 diaries and have been writing in journals since I was 8 years old. I also love reading and listening to music. My favourite genre is fantasy as I love the freedom you have to experiment with different worlds, systems, creatures, gadgets and names!
Some favourites:
Colour – Aqua
Animal – Butterfly
Number – 3
I’m excited to share everything here on this website. Stay tuned for Eclipse updates and learn how to write your own novel!
– Charlotte 🙂
