Sharon Sullivan Guy has loved to write since third grade when her story about white and yellow daisies was selected as the best in the class.  An inner chord was struck and has remained until now--the old lady in tennis shoes era.
 
It has been hard for Sharon to maintain a regular writing routine through the years of parenthood (she has 2 sons) and moving up and down the east coast with her husband's government job, from Florida to Pennsylvania., Virginia,  Delaware and back. Sharon also fits writing around her other interests-- gardening, travel, reading, community work and church work.  But she is not giving up and is  trying to learn all the new internet offerings and new ways of writing and submitting. 
 
Her publishing record has been slight but a lot of fun.  When she lived in Mississippi, she wrote a newspaper column for the local section of the Jackson Clarion Ledger.  She interviewed interesting folks--the lady with 9 Himalayan cats in her house, the man who was building an airplane in his garage, the new Baptist minister, the IRS director.  During this time photography became important to her as well and she sold many pictures to the paper. 
 
Sharon has also had a couple of articles printed in Health magazines and even a squib in the Washington Post! 
 
She focuses now on  creative nonfiction writing--short pieces and a book.  The attached picture was taken at a small inn on the island of Murano, near Venice.
