Sharon's undergrad degree is in education, and she earned an M.A. in Communication from Regent University in 1986. She spent ten years as the artistic director of a Christian performing arts group, CrossCurrent. That ministry included three short-term mission trips to Hong Kong. She has been a church youth worker, a choreographer and ballet teacher, a home-school mom, a church organist, and a bookstore clerk. One day she'll figure out what to be when she grows up, but in the meantime she's pouring her imagination into writing. She's published dozens of articles in magazines and book compilations, and released her first novel in 2006. In April, 2007, she was named "Writer of the Year" at Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference.
