Award-winning screenwriter and successful author of non-fiction and fiction.

Charles writes easy-to-read books that inform, persuade, and sometimes challenge. His work ranges from civic-minded books on citizenship to bestselling guides on Mastering Strategy, Thinking, and Extreme Leadership-and yes, even gritty, character-driven mysteries. He eked out a math degree from the University of Illinois, capped by an MBA in economics from the University of Chicago. His most practical education, however, came from the school of hard work.

Chuck lives in Orlando with his wife, near their daughter and her family. Their son and his crew of three boys are posted up north in a different time zone-unavoidable but unacceptable.
