Author

Sharon Winters is a retired English and Math teacher, world traveler, humorist, and award-winning author whose writing blends wit, heart, and a love of adventure. A multi-faceted talent with a gift for turning everyday encounters into unforgettable stories, Sharon has delighted readers with tales ranging from desert rats and rescued dogs to cross-cultural discoveries in China. Her acclaimed works include two memoirs, Cutted Chicken in Shanghai and Karl’s Diary: It’s a Dog’s Life, and two children’s books, A Quilt for Charley: Based on a True Story and Runtie the Desert Rat. Her latest book, Stores from Sharon and Her Service Dog Charley, captures a collection of amusing tales (and Charley’s wagging tail) in a light-hearted memoir.

Sharon has a BS in psychology from Illinois State University and an MA in humanities from the University of Texas. Her stories have appeared in several Mensa publications and The Rodent Reader Quarterly. Whether writing a memoir, children’s stories, or animal adventures, Sharon invites readers to sit safely in their chair while they are entertained, inspired, and reminded of the love that is theirs, too.
