Charlotte Fielden (born June 5, 1932) is a Canadian novelist, playwright, actress and poet. She is a retired therapist. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Fielden studied mime with Marcel Marceau in the 1950s, and was featured in the Stratford Festival of Canada with actors such as William Shatner. She has written for stage, television, radio, and film, and her short stories, articles and poetry have been included in various anthologies, literary reviews and news publications. She provided the English dubbed versions for Claude Jutra's films Mon Oncle Antoine and Kamouraska. After retirement, Fielden returned to writing and publishing with 'Palatine Hill', a historical novel (2004) that spans over three hundred years of Canadian history, focusing on the Secord family, and centering on Niagara-on-the-Lake and the War of 1812. ''An Age Without A Name'', released in the fall of 2007, concludes the Weil Trilogy. Preceded by ''Crying As She Ran'', and ''Messages Like Memories'', it spans 100 years of a Toronto immigrant family from 1920 to 2020. ''A Fragrance of Thyme'', her first poetry collection, was released in June 2008, and her first mystery novel, ''The Wolves of Positano'' had a July 2010 release. Fielden's published play in two acts, ''Saving Angel'' had successful staged readings in Toronto (August 2006) and in London, England at the Actors Centre (2006). Fielden is also working with composer Ian McAndrew on their musical ''Storyville''. Fielden's tenth book and second poetry collection, ''Beads on a Fragile String'' had a February 2011 release, and ''The Story of Marly Mansion'', another psychological thriller, sequel to ''The Wolves of Positano'', had a 2012 September release.

And the fourth book in this mystery series is now a work in progress and takes place in Ireland. "Beholder", Fielden's fourteenth book and third poetry collection had its release in March 2015. In "Beholder" she ventures into both the luminous and the shadow areas of creation and the human condition. The poems span the years 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. A special mention goes to Fielden's award-winning son musician Jerry Fielden, lead guitarist of the Canadian Metal band AraPacis, who is also her editor, and recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal (October 2012) for his book on the Wildcats, the 438 Tactical Helicopter Squadron of the RCAF.
