young readers and adults. In addition to the popular "Charlotte Books," SMCB now

Jane Hill's short story, "No Time like the Present," won third
place in Whispering Prairie Press's literary contest in the
category "Flash Fiction." Jane has published two young adult
novels, Clarendon Island and Only a Ghost of a Chance. Her third
novel, Pirate Treasure, is due out this year.
Jane's "Charlotte books" are humorous historical fiction set in the
South Carolina Lowcountry in the late 1880s. Charlotte, her
young protagonist, now long dead, is believed to be the first
ghost to have her own website.
