Debut Author Podcast: Sharon M. Peterson

Sharon M. Peterson is a former middle school teacher and has the personality to prove it. One of her favorite quotes is from Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath: “It was her habit to build up laughter out of inadequate materials.” She strives to tackle life that way and create characters who do the same. She lives in Washington with her husband and four children, including two autistic sons. She has one cat, two dogs, one tattoo, and an intense fear of poodles (don’t ask). Sharon is the author of The Do-Over and The Fake Out, both romantic comedies. She can usually be found hunched over her computer, creating characters and stories she hopes you’ll love as much as she does.
