Sharon Schulze began writing romance after graduating from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, while pursuing her first career as a civil engineer. She discovered that confirmed daydreamer/bookaholics can practice their craft anywhere, even a place as unromantic as a wastewater treatment plant. As writer, she now gets the chance to experience days gone by without encountering disease, vermin and archaic plumbing. A New Hampshire native, Sharon lived in Ohio and Massachusetts before settling in Connecticut twenty years ago. Now that their family is grown up and moved out, she and her husband, Cliff, are adjusting to their newly empty nest and trying to decide what to do with the extra room. However, they still share their home with Samantha, a miniature dachshund who believes her purpose in life is to chase squirrels and help "mom" write. Readers may contact Sharon at P.O.
