About the Author
Sharon Purtill was a stay-at-home mom and entrepreneur when she stumbled into publishing in 1998. That year, along with her husband, she wrote and published her first book. That book's success took them both by surprise when it went on to sell tens of thousands of copies right out of their garage. Today, Sharon is an award-winning author who publishes in multiple genres under a couple of different pseudonyms. Her passion for writing, family, and a positive life motivates her to create books that she hopes will enrich the lives of others. She hopes to one day escape the cold and write from a tropical beach somewhere where her biggest concerns will be sand sticking to her suntan lotion and an empty margarita glass. But, for now, Sharon treasures the warm summer months and the time she gets to spend with family and friends in Ontario, Canada.
