Charlotte Crawford is a native of Polk County, Florida and is an eleventh generation Cracker. Grew up in a small town where people did not lock their doors and the high school produced many state-wide and national notables, over-achieving doctors and incredibly talented musicians. Her life around phosphate villages is invaluable to her ability to write about Cracker lore. She has led the typical quirky and varied life of a future writer...engineering drawing, accountant, real estate broker and a long stint in community theatre. Has written and performed songs and comedy. Considers herself to be a story teller and author. A graduate of Florida Atlantic University. Changed her major so many… times she has a minor's worth is just about everything.
