A long time ago, Sharon was once a child herself. Now she writes stories for children! They grow from small kernels of truth and she loves to explore common themes—fairness, transitions and the path to finding your own voice.
Her middle grade novel Chasing at the Surface was the 2016 National Outdoor Book Award winner in the Children’s category. She is also the author of three children’s picture book biographies of technology entrepreneur Bill Gates, basketball legend Sue Bird and innovative glass artist Dale Chihuly.
Sharon has an MFA in Writing and lives in Seattle, Washington where she continues to work as a graphic designer. B in the World, a chapter book collaboration with her design partner about a gender non-conforming child, was selected by Seattle Public Schools for third graders in their K-5 Gender Kit.
