From the moment Paula Dixon stumbled across Liam Croft, a headstrong, hale and hearty Irishman, her carefully controlled world began to change. She was a prosecuting attorney. He was a publican. She wanted him to stay in South Carolina. He wanted her to go back with him to Dublin. She thought he was a chauvinist. He thought she was an angel.
It looked like a no-win situation. Then fate intervened, and Paula found she needed more than the luck of the Irish to survive. She needed the Irishman himself.
Sharon Brondos began reading mystery/crime/thriller novels about half a century ago when Ellery Queen Rex Stout and Earl Stanley Gardner were in vogue for US readers.
Her "mystery mentor her mother, Elaine, was a dedicated mystery buff, taking as many books from the local library as possible each week and making a tiny mark on the corner of a back page so she would know not to re-checkout that book.
During the following fifty years, Sharon has published two dozen commercial novels, a double handful of short stories, non-fiction articles and poems.
She lives with husband and cats in Wyoming. Three adult children and a growing number of grandchildren are in various locales around the country.
