Golden City, book 3 of the Realm Trilogy, is coming along. Lee Murray (https://www.leemurray.info/) has done such an amazing job with my manuscript. She was only supposed to be a beta reader, but she’s done quite an edit on it. I’m working my way through her comments, fixing word echoes and dialogue tags, removing cliches and weaving in more backstory.
I’m improving my POV (point of view) and internal dialogue but, most importantly, fixing some crucial plot points.
It’s taking longer than I’d hoped, but I know it’ll be worth it. Seven chapters down, sixteen to go. As they say, good things take time!

She is the multi-award nominated author of The Realmshift Trilogy – a YA fantasy fiction trilogy comprising four books (I know!). Sharon had a multi-cultural upbringing, attending high school in Belgium (in Flemish) and working 9 years in Bangkok, Thailand. It was there she realised she had a story inside her which she then proceeded to write over the next ten years, squeezing writing in between raising a family and working full time as a professional engineer. Her books have variously been finalists in the Tom Fitzgibbon Award, the SJV Awards and the Caleb Awards. She served as the President of Tauranga Writers for nearly 5 years and has been the President of SpecFicNZ since 2022. She is a StartWrite Manuscript assessor and Youth Mentor with NZSA.
