Shar Dimick started writing stories and poems as a grade-schooler. Her passion for writing continues to grow. Whether writing a blog entry, a software manual or a chapter in her next novel, not a day goes by where she isn’t writing something. Cousin to her love for writing, Shar’s also an avid reader of romance novels from contemporary to historical. Drawn to the genre from an early age, it seemed natural that her first novel, Take a Deep Breath, be a contemporary romance. Shar holds a Master of Arts in English from Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. She lives in Northwest Ohio with her two daughers and their dogs.
