Biography

Sharon Ricklin grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and always knew she wanted to be a writer. She's had many titles in her life, including: wife, mother, grandmother, medical assistant, ranch-hand, and teacher. While still home-schooling her youngest son - she finally started writing. However, after finishing her first romance novel, circumstances in life forced her to set the book aside for a few years...

No longer working full time and having an empty nest, (and no more excuses) she decided to get to work on editing that novel. Little did she know, her muse had other ideas. A fantastically vivid dream forced her to set that book aside, yet again. This dream gave birth to the Ravenswynd Series, and the muse hasn't shut up since. (After finishing her paranormal Ravenswynd Series, she did finally get that first novel published and (Song of Memory) is available.

Sharon is a member of Romance Writers of America (RWA), Wisconsin Romance Writers, (WisRWA) the author of two blogs, and involved in several Writers Groups.

Now living in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Sharon is working on another time-travel novel, tentative title: Island of Time.
Her other 3 time-travel (romance) novels, River of Time, Garden of Time, and Frozen in Time are stand-alone novels - NOT a series.

Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
Dick and Jane books come to mind...but seriously, the only impact they had on me was that I was finally READING!!
One of the first books that impacted me though was "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott. It was during the reading of that book when I decided I wanted to be a writer, just like Jo.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I don't believe WHERE I lived had as much to do with influencing my writing as WHO I lived with. My mother was (and still is) an avid reader, and whenever she wasn't busy with the kids, cooking or cleaning, her face was buried in a book. I remember reading a lot of her books, even the ones she had hidden in her room! And you know what they say about being a decent writer: you should also be a reader.
