Shadow of Cheveyo

Sharon is a member of Romance Writers of America (RWA), Wisconsin Romance Writers (WisRWA), the author of two blogs, and somewhat addicted to social networking.

She wrote her first contemporary romance novel while still homeschooling her youngest son who graduated back in 2003. After several long distance moves and eventually becoming an empty nester, it was finally time to get busy editing that book. That was about five years ago.

All was going well - until she had the most vivid dream she'd ever had in her life. This dream inspired the birth of her vampire series, and Sharon started writing in a new genre: Paranormal Romance. Or as she likes to call it - Romance with a Twist.

The Ravenswynd Series was published in 2013.

That same year her first *time-travel romance was published, and she has since written three more. *These are NOT a series, all are stand-alone novels.

*River of Time is a RECOMMENDED READ on USA TODAY'S Happy Ever After blog!*

*Garden of Time

*Frozen in Time

*Island of Time

That contemporary romance novel that began SO LONG AGO... was finally published in February 2015! (Song of Memory)

In 2021, Sharon co-authored a novel with her mother titled Shadow of Cheveyo, a south-western paranormal, adventure.

In 2023 Sharon wrote her first non-fiction book; a biography about her mother, titled, Not an Ordinary Life.

After a 30-plus year love affair with the state of Arizona, Barbara moved back to her home state of Wisconsin, but still cannot get used to the winters. Besides writing poetry, she's enjoyed many creative pursuits through the years, some of which are painting, pottery and sculpture, designing jewelry, and teaching wire wrapping and weaving. While in Arizona she also spent time camping, hiking, and swimming; and together with her husband of nearly 56 years, traveling the United States - exploring many of the National Parks.

Barbara is an avid reader and puzzle-book aficionado, which in turn, some claim, has turned her into a walking thesaurus. She now spends most mornings as the editor of her daughter's novels, for which she is paid exorbitant amounts of coffee.
