 Shari
Anton's resume lists an impressive string of job titles, from personnel
clerk to executive secretary. When she took a creative writing class
and found she possessed some talent for writing fiction, she dared
to dream of a career that allowed her to work at home, shun panty
hose and take unlimited coffee breaks.
Determined
to write what she loved to read - historical romance - she spent
the next few years learning the craft of writing a novel and entering
various writing contests, winning first place in several. Emboldened
by her success, she submitted her work to agents and publishers.
Her
persistence paid off in 1997. With subsequent publishing contracts
signed, Shari left the work world behind. She now spends her days
in her home office weaving romantic tales set in medieval England.
Shari
and her husband live in Wisconsin, have two grown children, and
do their best to spoil their two adorable little grandsons. Every
chance they get, they pack the saddlebags on their Harleys and hit
the road. Traveling companions expect to find a visit to a Civil
War battlefield, a medieval fair, or an historical society on the
itinerary.

Dear
Readers,
 Spring
has finally arrived. While I'm enjoying the warmer weather,
the daffodils and tulips, and the beginning of the Milwaukee
Brewers season, I'm also gearing up for the release of MAGIC
IN HIS KISS in July. This third book in the Magic trilogy
has been a long time coming, and I thank those of you who've
waited
so patiently!
Like
her sisters, Nicole also has a psychic gift: she can hear the
voices of those spirits who haven't yet moved on to the afterlife,
and her brother is particularly annoying! Rhodri has a gift,
too. He's a Welsh bard, and oh my, how I wish I could put a
soundtrack of Celtic harp music within the book! So I'm doing
the next best thing. In the current contest, the prize is an
autographed copy of MAGIC IN HIS KISS plus the set of CDs I
listened to while writing the book.
As
always, I hope you'll join me on MySpace and Shelfari,
and my blog at Grand
Central Café. And I have three new places where
you can find me. Facebook and Romance
Book Junction and Twitter!!
Until
July!
Shari
