Daphne Charette's work has appeared in Byzarium, AlienSkin, FlashShot, The Sword Review, Nocturnal Ooze, and Wicked Karnival. Her short story, 'The Law of the Tribe', placed 11th in the 2005 Preditors and Editors Readers' Choice poll, and was a quarter-finalist in the L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future competition. Before returning to fiction in 2005, she worked as a screenwriter, penning one script for Mindstorm Entertainment which now has Patrick Aluise ('Hooligans' starring Elijah Wood, 'Six Bullets From Now' co-produced with Ridley Scott) attached as producer, in addition to optioning two original scripts and receiving numerous awards for her historical epic, 'The Sword and the Rose'.
"...a distaff "Braveheart", with a very strong central character, a wonderful sense of period atmosphere, and a cracklingly good story...exceedingly well written."
--Rex Pickett, Oscar-winning screenwriter and author of Sideways
