Portrait of Dr. Charles Welch, horror and thriller author
About the Author

Dr. Charles Welch

Charles Welch is the Amazon Bestselling author of Horror and Thriller Novels including the IAN Book of the Year Finalist — Within the Fog, the Bookfest Book Awards winner — Laughers, and the Bookfest Book Awards winner — Killer of Killers.

After receiving his Doctorate in eLearning, Charles turned his attention to his passion — horror writing and creating chills for readers. The Colorado native is a lover of cookies, vacation, football, Corvettes, and currently resides partially in Northern Colorado and partially in a world where the things in the shadows almost always bite.

When he grows up, Charles hopes to say that he has done far more good in the world than harm and hopes he can say he deserves the many blessings life has thrown his way.

Praise for Dr. Welch

Featuring a likeable, ordinary family fighting to survive a horrific evil, Charles Welch's Within the Fog is a gripping debut that reimagines the vampire story to create something that is simultaneously familiar, fresh, and utterly chilling.

This author is probably the most talented writer I've ever read. His stories are so original and captivating it beggars belief. I've been reading constantly at least 5 books a week from all different authors for over 50 years and I am in awe of his storytelling. I feel blessed that I've actually stumbled upon his work.

Amazon Review
Every one of these Coming Up Short books are awesome! Every story is well written, scary and thought provoking. I am definitely a new fan of this author. As a lifetime reader of horror, it is hard to frighten me but these stories all hit their mark.
