Check out Chuck's interview on "Be My Guest" with Jan Lewis from November 2016:

Here's Chuck answering a great question about how a male writer can create female characters.

Meet the Author: Chuck Abdella

Chuck Abdella is a history teacher at St. John’s High School in Shrewsbury, MA. He describes himself as: “a history teacher, indie writer, world-saver, superhero (if you believe the rumors), and softball coach. Not necessarily in that order.” Chuck’s four-book fantasy series, The Outcasts: The Lies of Autumn, The Darkest Forests, Whispers of Spring, and A Flicker of Hope, and his YA duology set in a high school, The Sun and the Moon and Shadows and Stars have all been enjoyed by readers on six continents. His newest book, set in a college, Casual Monsters, came out in 2025. Chuck has written for nearly 40 years and his writing has appeared in the St. John’s Icon, the Boston College Stylus, Worcester Magazine, and The Boston Globe. He has served as a fantasy fiction mentor at the Worcester County Writers Conference. When he’s not spending his time reminding adolescents that the Romans were much cooler than they thought, Chuck lives in Massachusetts with his wife, his daughters, a dog, and a cat that may or may not be enchanted.
