Welcome to Books by Char

 Where every book is written from the heart.

At Books by Char, we believe in the power of stories to transport us, heal us, and remind us what it means to feel deeply. Our mission is simple but powerful: to create books that resonate with readers of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences.

Each book is thoughtfully crafted with love and purpose. Whether it’s a comforting story for children, an inspiring tale of courage, or a thrilling escape for adults, every page is designed to connect with the reader in a personal, heartfelt way. Many of our titles also include bonus features, affirmations, activities, and resources — gentle tools to guide and support readers through life’s more challenging moments.

Now, we’re proud to introduce a new chapter at Books by Char: stories for adults who love to escape reality and get lost in a good book. Our upcoming release, The Smoke Siren, marks the beginning — a dark, gripping psychological thriller set on the fog-choked streets of London. And with more titles to come, there’s always another world waiting to be discovered.

No two books are the same, because no two journeys are. But one thing remains constant: every story we create is designed to help, heal, and inspire.

Books by Char is more than a collection of stories — it’s a home for hearts, minds, and imaginations of every kind.
