Charisse Nesbit

Charisse Nesbit first started writing at the age of eleven when she would make up stories to lull herself to sleep. Though her career path has taken her in many different directions, she always comes back to writing. She first achieved success in 1999 when her essay “Child of the Dream” was selected to be a part of the anthology Children of the Dream, where quotes from her essay were featured prominently on the back cover, inside jacket, and introduction of the book. She followed that a year later with a book she self-published to honor finishing her first complete novella. A former foster child, Charisse hopes to inspire other foster kids to strive for more out of life through the inspirational stories in this book.
