After her retirement, it seemed natural to her that she would combine those skills with her love of reading and entered the most exciting time of her life as an advocate for and planner of literary events in support of African American authors and book clubs. Sharon lives with her family in Bowie, MD. Visit her blog at www.realdivasread.com.view less
