Sharon loves adventure. Whether traveling through Malaysia on a jungle train, sailing in the San Juan Islands, or flying in an experimental airplane she helped her husband build, her life has been on the road less traveled. She has experienced hurricanes tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, and more. She has seen sunsets that take your breath away.Her first publishing credit began in Malaysia while traveling from Kluang to Kota Bharu on the now defunct "jungle train." See "beginnings." She then edited, researched, and wrote young adult nonfiction for two educational publishers, Greenhaven Press and Lucent Books.
As a storyteller, Sharon knows that facts and life experiences are the foundations of good storytelling. If she were to credit one life experience behind wanting to be a writer, it would be the term paper she wrote in the ninth grade on the bubonic plague. "I don't know why, but I have always remembered that," Sharon said.
Today Sharon is working on a second novel at home in Eastern Washington, where she lives with her husband on the edge of a desert runway . . . but that's another story!
