Joelle Charbonneau
Ever since I can remember I loved telling stories. As I grew
up, I started performing those stories on the stage.
Creating vivid characters and singing wonderfully complex
songs were my passion. I graduated from Millikin University
with a Bachelors Degree in Vocal Performance and then
continued onto DePaul University for my Masters Degree in
Opera Performance. From there I went onto perform across the
Chicagoland area in a variety of Operas, Operettas and
Musicals. I also started teaching acting classes and private
voice lessons to pass my passion along to the next generation.
Not exactly the path you’d expect a writer to take.
I’d never dreamed of writing a novel. But I loved to
read. Then one day I had an idea and I started to write. I
found my passion for creating characters lived on the page
as well as the stage. It is my hope that the characters
I’ve created resonate with you and make you smile.
I still teach voice lessons and sing for the occasional
professional event. But the rest of my time is spent with my
husband and son while dreaming up new and interesting
stories. I hope that someday I hear yours.
