Sharon Calvin

Sharon Calvin has been a winner and finalist in numerous Romance Writers of America writing contests including the Golden Heart, she is currently writing a romantic suspense series (Coast Guard Air Rescue) about the men and women of the US Coast Guard. Her first two books, A Dangerous Leap, and Jayhawk Down, were released by Carina Press and will be released as part of the new five-book series.

Her life experiences fuel her imagination and help her breathe life into her characters. Over the years Sharon has worked in an Oregon sawmill, been a telephone exchange repairman (until she failed pole climbing), fired a Thompson submachine gun (Tommy Gun) at the FBI firing range, and won second place in an off-road hill climb in her Jeep CJ-5. She even took an intro flight in a helicopter to better understand her heroine in her Coast Guard series. She competed in cross-country riding events for almost 10 years before swapping her horse for a Ninja 500 sport bike. Trading Midwestern ice storms and tornadoes for hurricanes and perpetual summers, Sharon now lives on an island in Florida with her husband and two Maine Coon cats.
