About Sharon Cook

One day Sharon plans to write full time, rather than working in prison libraries or running creative workshops. Collecting vintage, silversmithing and avoiding housework keep Sharon out of trouble – mostly. The rest of the time she can be found working with a blue light charity, where inspiring people and stories are never far away.
