After reading Alex Haley's Roots, Sharyn developed a passion for genealogy and history that deepened with the ensuing years. This went hand in hand with another newly discovered interest: writing. And so her first series was born, Southern Skyes, an Australian historical fiction family saga. While completing the six-book series, Sharyn devoted some writing time to another passion: the good old-fashioned mystery. You can find those in the Cody Costin Cozy Mysteries and the Jami Laramie Mystery series. When not writing or researching, Sharyn can be found enjoying time at home on the New South Wales Central Coast with family and friends, swimming, hiking, walking her dogs, reading, painting, tracing someone's family tree, or enjoying a rock concert. She digs a good rollercoaster ride as much as a trail bike ride. To round out her adventurer's spirit, she embraces the joy of travel and learning about other cultures. Look for more books from Sharyn as she further develops her current mystery line-up and tinkers with other creative ideas along the way.
