J. Charmein Everett is a minimalist, a writer, an explorer of moments that install and dismantle belief systems. Her best writing stems from commercial break visits to her childhood, her love for cinema, traveling in Europe, zip lining, listening to TedTalks, and discussions that thread into relevant and irrelevant subcategories. She reads everything and writes neo-noir novellas within the scope of an intimate microworld. J. Charmein Everett was born in North Carolina and spent three years in Europe where she began her collection of international chess sets.
