Sharon
A professional engineer by training, Sharon is currently a quality, environment and sustainability manager in a large, global engineering consultancy firm. Therefore, writing a novel may seem an unlikely fit. However, Sharon’s upbringing involved moving to Belgium when she was 12 and completing all of her secondary schooling in Flemish, with French and German also… Continue reading About

My first draft of Golden City is COMPLETE! I wrote from 7.30am to 4.45pm (7.5 hours) on Tuesday, adding 4,400 words to my manuscript. Then on Wednesday I wrote for nearly five hours, adding just over 4,000 words. I use the word ‘adding’ deliberately, because there was a fair amount of writing, then deleting and… Continue reading Mission accomplished!
I’m excited to be spending two days solid working on my third book, Golden City. It’s such a treat to have uninterrupted time. The past four months I’ve managed to spend four or six hours writing each weekend, but two whole days? Never. How’s this going to happen? Well, I’m accompanying my husband to Sydney,… Continue reading Writing Retreat!
Just discovered I’ve got another 5-star review on Amazon. Thank you whoever you are! I am so enjoying the incredible journey which this story has taken me on … so far: first to Medar and now Tyrelia. Can’t wait for the [3rd] book!! Purchase Medar Purchase Tyrelia
I am so tempted to write the following, but I know my editor won’t let me keep it: The horse instantly became visible. “Dapple!” Thyst exclaimed, hoarsely. Got lots of writing done this weekend–around four thousand words. Two and a bit chapters bringing the total up to just over 25,000 words. I think I’ve got… Continue reading Can I get away with it?
I’ve had a couple of set-backs recently. First of all, I got my 6-monthly royalty payment from Arkhouse. 20% of two print-on-demand sales: NZD3.77 less Paypal transaction fees! Add to that my online sales through Amazon: 4 books with a royalty of $4.80 which I don’t get, because of Amazon’s rules. Then, to top it off,… Continue reading Failure?
TYRELIA
Loved the story line, sense of adventure. Well rounded characters. Flaws and strengths. Can’t wait for final book in series – M Watson (on Amazon)
Freya continues to develop as a hero. In this instalment, she finds herself cut off from her family, her friends and mentors. She is in a strange land – the fabled Tyrelia that no one knows anything about because the wall has blocked everyone for so many years.
At the same time her family is fighting their own battle. Freya’s parents are panicked when contact with her is lost, and Jack is becoming increasingly seduced by what the Golden City promises.
An excellent second novel, which does a great job of continuing the world building, and developing well rounded characters.
