She is best known for her Professor Peter Shandy series and also wrote the Sarah Kelling & Max Bittersohn series as well as the Madoc Rhys and Grub-And-Stakers series as Alisa Craig. Charlotte MacLeod was born in New Brunswick and her family moved to the United States shortly after. She was educated at the Art Institute of Boston and then worked as a copywriter (while beginning her fiction career). Her writing is very light and consists of likable and eccentric characters.
