edit data

Sharon M. Peterson is a former middle school teacher and has the personality to prove it. One of her favorite quotes is from Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath: “It was her habit to build up laughter out of inadequate materials.” She strives to tackle life that way and create characters who do the same. She lives in Washington with her husband and four children, including two autistic sons. She has two cats, one dog, one Russian tortoise, one tattoo, and an intense fear of poodles (don’t ask). She can usually be found hunched over her computer, creating characters and stories she hopes you’ll love as much as she does.

Sharon Peterson answered Goodreads's question: What’s your advice for aspiring writers? Read. Read. Read. Read across genres. Read good books and figure out why they're good. Read bad books and figure out why the don't work for you. A writer who doesn't read is like a chef who doesn't eat.

Sharon’s Quotes

“Yes,” said Lila under her breath. “I am aware I married a fortune cookie.” “In a cape,” said Dex. “Well done.”
― Kate Racculia, Tuesday Mooney Talks To Ghosts: A Mystery Adventure of Puzzles, Humor, and the Courage to Face Your Ghosts

“If you catch me in my off-guard moments, I’ll tell you that at some points in my life, I wanted to be white. It’s not a proud feeling, but it’s not a feeling that comes from the shame of being brown. It’s a tired feeling. Tired of the crushing racism. Tired of not belonging. It’s the exhaustion from fighting for your right to exist.”
― Phuc Tran, Sigh, Gone: A Misfit's Memoir of Great Books, Punk Rock, and the Fight to Fit In
