Bestselling author Sharon Kreider, a former mental health therapist turned writer, weaves the emotional and psychological fabric of the human condition into her writing and prose to help shed light on many relevant issues facing society today –its conflicts, its tragedies, and windows of hope.
Born and raised in a small northern Canadian town, she left home at an early age to travel the world, and eventually settled in Colorado where she penned her first book, Sylvie: a women’s fiction novel examining a family’s love for one another, acceptance, and letting go. The siren call of the Pacific Northwest lured her to a new writing home on several acres of wild, natural land to live a quieter life with her husband.
Sharon’s second book, Wandering … a long way past the past, is a remarkable travel memoir; an exceptional account of courage, love, overcoming adversity, and forgiveness, spanning her three-year solo adventure from Canada to Asia in the late 1970s.
Her latest book, Silver Tip, is a collection of thought-provoking poems capturing the celebration of being alive, the tenderness of love, and the beauty of the natural world. She is currently working on her second women’s fiction novel.
When Sharon is not writing, you can find her hiking the hills or kayaking the lake near her home in summer, cross-country skiing in winter, and as a long-time yoga instructor, teaching a yoga class from time to time.

This time of year, a common practice is gifting, giving something to someone without expecting anything in return. It can be a watercolor drawing of the sunset, a crocheted blanket, a handwritten poem, fixing up the garage, or shoveling snow off a roof. One can also buy just the right gift for their loved ones, from a bicycle for a
