À propos des auteurs

Sharon M. Carter was born in London following its devastation from WW2's Blitz. Her family left to find work in the north of England, settling in a Lancashire seaside resort. Part-time work was freely available, and her early jobs included ice cream seller, waitress, and postwoman. During these decades education was free and this proved pivotal in allowing her to graduate from Cambridge University with a medical degree. Originally trained as a family physician, she was a practicing psychiatrist for over thirty years. Sharon has lived in London (again), several locations around the UK, a short stint in Greece, and aboard ship as a staff member of the Semester at Sea. She once traveled overland to Nepal. After immigrating in the 1970s via Indiana, she moved to the Pacific Northwest to which she is more firmly attached than a limpet. A lifelong artist working in multiple media she currently devotes most of her time to writing, though there's a subtle interaction. Sharon is also the author of the poetry book, Quiver (Tebot Bach 2022). Ekphrastic Pastiche, a book combining poetry and original drawings, was released in 2024. She will always be indebted to the Hedgebrook Foundation for its generosity early in her writing career. The Jack Straw Writers program also provided guidance on presentation. She has co-edited an online literary magazine and helped run a reading series. Other roles have included, cyclist, mother, skier, adventure traveler, and backpacker.
