Author bio

Hie. I'm Charlene Simon. An African in love with the West😂 I am 19 and writing is a hobby as well as a talent. I'm hoping to make something of it one day. Besides writing books (all of them currently unpublished 😂😂😂) I write songs and poetry as well. I want to be a lot of things, a neurologist who sings part time and is an award winning author.
