Sharon Schulze

While pursuing her first career as a civil engineer, Sharon Schulze soon discovered that confirmed daydreamer/bookaholics can practice their craft anywhere, even someplace as unromantic as a wastewater treatment plant (her place of employment at the time!). In her writing, she gets the chance to experience days gone by--without encountering disease, vermin, and archaic plumbing.

Sharon was a finalist in RWA's Golden Heart Contest; her third book, THE SHIELDED HEART, was a nominee for a Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers Choice Award and one of the 1999 Barclay Gold Contest's Top Ten Favorite Romances. She is a past president of the Connecticut Chapter of Romance Writers of America (CTRWA) and a former RWA Region 1 Director. She is a member of RWA, several RWA chapters, the Authors Guild and Novelists Inc.

A New Hampshire native, Sharon lived in Ohio and Massachusetts before settling in Connecticut over twenty five years ago. She and her husband Cliff share their now-empty nest--a medieval writer's dream complete with a moat and drawbridge (actually a lovely house with a porch, a brook and a bridge)--with visiting family and friends, and the occasional 4-legged grandchild.
