<p>My name is Sharon Lopez. I live in Arizona. I wrote a play at age ten, and some friends and I put it on for my fifth- grade class. It was then that I caught the writing bug, so to speak. My fifth- grade teacher, Mr. Schwinden encouraged me to continue writing, and so I did. My younger years were filled with short stories, plays, and then finally poetry. When I got into high school, I took a creative writing class which helped me build on my skills. Mr. Hutchings was very supportive and helped me see where I needed improvements. I learned a lot from him and am very grateful to have had his influence in my life. In 2013, I was inspired again, this time by JCB's words and the way he lives life. His words are encouraging and insightful and I am grateful for the things he has taught or reminded me of that are the most important in life.</p><p> My books span many genres, though best to say separately they are fantasy, crime, romance, action, young adult fiction. Many things happen within the pages of my books; dreams are found, love is discovered, adventure is had, and betrayals happen. Besides writing, I help other authors to get the word out about their books through a page on my website dedicated to authors and books that I have really enjoyed.</p>
