About the Author

Charis Papalas
Charis was born in Greece and raised abroad from a young age, but the rich traditions of his heritage have always stayed close to his heart. In ancient Greece, astrology was a privilege reserved for the wealthy and powerful — yet today, zodiac signs and storytelling remain a vibrant part of everyday Greek culture. From childhood, Charis was surrounded by lively conversations about sun and moon signs, daily horoscopes on TV, and family rituals tied to astrological beliefs.
Now living in London, Charis works in the fast-paced world of advertising — but his true passion lies in sharing stories that reflect the wonder and warmth of his upbringing. Through The Zodiac Tales, he brings astrology to life for a new generation, blending myth, personality, and life lessons in heartfelt children’s books that spark curiosity and imagination.
When he’s not writing, you’ll likely find Charis rollerblading along the Thames, diving into a sci-fi novel, or convincing his friends they really are acting like their star sign.
