Not an Ordinary Life
About this ebook
Born in 1931 and given up for adoption, she may have been one of the "black market" babies.
After her “adoption” she was abandoned in a hotel room in Chicago.
She was motherless, abused, and forced to give up her firstborn.
She was divorced in an era where it was seriously not cool.
She raised six children, only to out-live her oldest and her youngest.
She cared for her husband of over 50 years when he became ill - and then wrote a book about it.
She beat cancer - twice.
She is an artist, a poet, and an author.
I'd call her a survivor, but she'd probably say, "It's just my life."

About the author
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.
