S.L. Jensen

My real name is Sharon Linda Jensen. I was born in eastern Oklahoma, USA, in 1947, where many relatives still live. I was married for 27 years to my first husband, a Texan and both my son and daughter were born in Hereford, Texas. We divorced in 1990 and I married Arne Jensen from Denmark in 1991.

I love to use my imagination, I am a creative woman, love my grandchildren and I love my husband. Writing is the hard part for me because of my dyslexia typing is difficult and miss-typed words common, however it is not always so bad and I overcome it by resting my eyes and fingers awhile.

The Bridge Collapse Murder is my fist book, inspired by the actual incident that took fourteen lives as the I-40 bridge collapsed into the Arkansas River in 2002. I did a great deal of research and was planning to write a non-fiction book about it. I simply could not find it in me to do that due to the tragic lose of lives and interviews necessary to make it compelling. My aunt Jewel Horne was Mayor of Webber's Falls and she suggested I write a fictional story. I did and here it is.
