A graduate of Valparaiso University, Shari has dabbled in creative writing on and off since middle school days (first place in that 8th grade creative writing contest!). Her novella an upcoming anthology is her first published work. When not working or writing, Shari is an avid music fan, concert goer, television binger and movie watcher. She is divorced with five children - two furry, three not. She's also probably the person singing like a mad woman in the car next to you.
