Welcome!

I write compelling fiction with heart, soul and a dash of wit. My most recent novel is the award-winning, coming-of-age literary novel, My One Square Inch of Alaska (published by Penguin Plume), which explores the power of embracing and empowering dreams. I've also had published two mystery series and a collection of my humorous lifestyle columns. 

As a newspaper columnist, workshop director, adjunct writing instructor and fiction manuscript consultant,  I celebrate and encourage other writers to pursue their dreams and to learn and grow as artists individually and in community with one another.

Finally, I love to connect with readers and encourage individual readers as well as book clubs and groups to contact me. You can also stay in touch by signing up for my email newsletter.

Thanks for stopping by!

All the best,

Sharon
