Before she focused on writing novels, she was an award winning short story writer and playwright. She has a master’s degree in history and a bachelor’s degree in film production. She enjoys old movies like “Double Indemnity” and anything by Frank Capra or Alfred Hitchcock.

Sharon Dunn's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
