About Charles Moberly

on Kilimanjaro



I have published four novels to date and am writing a fifth.

The Scrotum Toad, is a satirical comedy. It won a Chill with a Book Reader Award.

The Corncrake is a historical novel set in 1909-10 and 1914-15, It won a Chill with a Book Premier Award. In The Corncrake, four members of a family share the narration. This powerful technique allows the reader to enter the minds of the characters as they react to events, so that love, conflicts and misunderstandings are conveyed immediately. This is only possible if the voices of the characters are so strong that they are identifiable the moment they speak.

Try the Leopard’s Mouth is a romantic thriller with a firm historical base. It won a Historical Fiction Company Highly Recommended Award and a Chill with a Book Reader Award.

Cooee Baby is a psychological novel with elements of a thriller. Welcome to the world of Asperger's, remote tribes, movies, and astrophysics!

I lived and worked in Africa for two years, which explains why two of my novels are set in Africa.

In my writing, I love tension arising from misunderstandings and how cultural differences can tear people apart, yet unite them through a common humanity. I believe that no two characters should ever have the same voice. I write in the vernacular of the time and place, using slang where appropriate.
I now live in the UK.
