  <about><![CDATA[Blake Charlton first overcame severe dyslexia in the sixth grade when he began sneaking fantasy and science fiction books into special ed study hall. Inspired, he went on to graduate summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Yale University. After college, he worked as an English teacher, a medical writer for UCSF and Stanford, a tutor for the learning disabled, and a JV football coach. Blake is currently a third-year medical student at Stanford medical school, where he teaches creative writing for medical students and has received a fellowship to write fiction. SPELLWRIGHT, his first novel, is due out in the US in February 2010, in the UK August 2010 from Voyager Books.
