Pseudonym
Charlotte Stone is a pseudonym for Dominique Nightingale and Charles Nightingale. Maxim Jakubowski was their agent for The Four Wishes (1983). This has been confirmed via:
- A January 2007 e-mail from Maxim Jakubowski to ISFDB editor Marc Kupper which states "The Cheon book has been attributed to me in the past, and I had some involvement in it (which caused the mistake) but I was not the author."
- An April 2011 e-mail from Charles and Dominique Nightingale to Marc Kupper which states "Yes, Dominique Nightingale and I, Charles Nightingale co-authored this book. Maxim Jakubovski was our agent."
Another item that connects the Nightingales to the author name Charlotte Stone is the back cover of Cheon, Witch Warrior which states "Credit for Graphic: Charles Nightingale."
Online, is this article by Dominique Nightingale. At the bottom is "Dominique Nightingale's first book, a fantasy for children was published in 1978, in France. She has had another fantasy published in the US, Cheon of Weltanland."
As it's a pseudonym it's not clear how factual the "About the Author" blurb in Cheon, Witch Warrior is. For the record, it states.
- Charlotte Stone lives in England and has authored a number of novels, short stories and articles, in both English and French. Her interests include history, languages, art and science. She is married with two teenage sons. She is a frequent visitor to the far South-West of France.
The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction
A credit for Maxim Jakubowski as being the author behind the name Charlotte Stone was added and subsequently removed from the The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction by Peter Nicholls with John Clute.
- This web page is apparently an addendum issued September 4th, 1993 by The encyclopedia editors and St Martin's Press. Presumably that update is for the May 1993 edition. The addendum states "JAKUBOWSKI, MAXIM (p637): As Charlotte Stone, MJ wrote "Cheon of Weltanland: The Four Wishes" (1983 US)" and "STONE, CHARLOTTE: New cross-reference entry to Maxim JAKUBOWSKI." Thus it appears that at some point in 1993 the encyclopedia editors ran across information linking Jakubowski to the name Charlotte Stone.
- The 1994 edition of the encyclopedia may be a published edition that includes the Maxim Jakubowski credit.
- This page is a September 2002 update that was apparently published as an appendix in the November 1995 edition by St Martin's Press edition. The update/appendix states "JAKUBOWSKI, MAXIM (p. 637): A former version of the addenda claimed that as Charlotte Stone, MJ wrote Cheon of Weltanland: The Four Wishes (1983 US). This book was written by Charles and Dominique Nightingale; MJ merely acted as agent."
Hawk’s Authors’ Pseudonyms
