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.

On one particular thoroughfare, I recorded the items I could see through my car window: plastic bottles, fast food wrappers, plastic bags, cardboard boxes, aluminum
Before a witness testifies in a jury trial, they must take an oath, the promise “to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth…” According to the Bible, Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” The Buddha is quoted as saying, “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the
