Charity Bradford has been a voracious reader ever since her 5th-grade teacher introduced her to the world of books with WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS. She soon became kindred spirits with Anne Shirley and got lost in the worlds of Card, McCaffrey, Bradbury, and Nagata. By college, she was sewing her own Starfleet uniform and developing her alter-ego as a comic book sidekick.
 Charity also writes contemporary romance under the pen name River Ford.

Check out her podcast "Loose Leaf Author Podcast" on most podcasting apps. She talks about author life in general, challenges, goals, and shares interviews with other authors. The podcast is searchable on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Spotify, and Stitcher.

She lives in Northwest Arkansas with her hubby and four kids. Some of her guilty pleasures include binge watching Hallmark movies, Doctor Who, and Ancient Aliens.
