About Me

Hello! I am a recently published author with a new book available entitled Anxious Contentment. A small collection of poetry, this book is beautifully put together by my publisher. Hats off to my cover designer! Please take a look. You can find it on Amazon or at my website http://www.jlsharpbooks.comMy most recent book is a summer romance due out this Spring. I'm sure you'll all enjoy it.My poetry is inspired by the beautiful surroundings I'm so lucky to live in. My children, love and faith are all explored within this collection as is the unease of bewilderment, anxiety and loss. For anyone who has searched for their purpose in life and place in the world, this book is for you.I have a BA in International Development and Anthropology and also a post grad certificate in Ecotourism Management. My love of travel and culture provides me with exciting characters and settings for my upcoming books.
