Charrette currently resides in Virginia with his wife, Elizabeth, who must suffer his constant complaints of insufficient time as he continues to crank out the novels as well as sculpt the occasional collector’s miniature. He is active in a living medieval history group which reenacts English life in the late fourteenth century. He also keeps abreast of the latest developments in dinosaurian paleontology and pre-Tokugawa Japanese history—two of his favorite topics.
