About the Author
Sharon Lee has been married to her first husband for more than half her lifetime; she is a friend to cats, a member of the National Carousel Association, and oversees the dubious investment schemes of an improbable number of stuffed animals.
Despite having been born in a year of the dragon, Sharon is an introvert. She lives in Maine because she likes it there. In fact, she likes it so much that she has written three novels set in Maine; mysteries Barnburner and Gunshy, and the forthcoming fantasy Carousel Tides.
With the aforementioned first husband, Steve Miller, Sharon has written twenty-one novels of science fiction and fantasy — many of them set in the Liaden Universe® — and numerous short stories. Under her own byline, she has written five additional novels; mysteries Barnburner and Gunshy; and the Archers Beach fantasy trilogy: Carousel Tides, Carousel Sun, and Carousel Seas.
Sharon has occasionally been an advertising copywriter, a reporter, photographer, book reviewer, and secretary. She was for three years Executive Director of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc., and was subsequently elected vice president and then president of that organization.
