Sharolynne Barth always wanted to write. Raised in the southwest Missouri Ozarks, she never thought about following her dream. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master of Arts in English. She spent twenty years in the classroom with some fantastic young adults. On the first day of class, she always asked the group what they wanted to be when they grew up. When asked the same question, she would tell her teen students she wanted to be a writer when she grew up.
Once retired from teaching, she started a short story which morphed into her first romantic suspense, The Dreamin’ Tree. The tree on the cover is a photo of an oil painting she did on canvas.
Her stories are character driven. Barth says: “I’ve discovered raising my characters right doesn’t mean as soon as they hit the page, they won’t do any darn thing they please. One despicable character pulled that stunt so I erased him. I actually cried when he died.”
