Royal Watching
He was the reluctant heir to the throne of a desert kingdom.
She was a virgin queen living far away in the south.
A little bird told him of her beauty--he had to meet her.
A traveling merchant told her of his wisdom--she had to meet him.
Something greater than either of them conspired to bring them together. When they met, could there be any doubt they were meant for each other? But would duty to country prevail over their pledge to one another? Only time and love would tell.
Sound like the stuff of romance novels? Yes, this was a romance writ large because it was an affair of state and royalty. And these characters appear in no less than four holy books: the Torah, the Koran, the King James Bible and the Kebra Nagast (The Glory of Kings).

Bridges Between Worlds
Today I will answer the oft-repeated question: “Sharon, why do you write about werewolves, Jinn (genies) and other weird things that go bump in the night?” This is analogous to asking mountain climbers why Mount Everest calls their name. My response: “Because they’re here, there and everywhere.”
