I started writing when I was seven years old. Okay, My Life as a Flying Squirrel may have had a couple spelling errors, but my classmates loved it.  Plenty of life has happened since that first story, and I’ve come to realize the things that fascinate me. People. Communication. Culture. Personality. Viewpoints. Beliefs. Anything that makes each of us beautifully unique. Small wonder that my art spills out in story form. It was only a matter of time before I just had to share my stories. I publish fantasy and science fiction because they allow vast spaces to explore. My stories weave cultures and characters, who are more than they seem to be, into adventures with mystery, romance, and hope.  When I’m not writing or reading, I may be traveling, enjoying gardens, or searching for unique coffee shops with my husband. We live in Minnesota, USA, famed for its mosquitoes—uh, I mean 10,000 lakes and vibrant seasons.  ~~~ What’s in a name?  Way more than I expected. As in, more people. Of course, I knew I was not the only Sharon Rose in the world, but it turns out that some of them are authors, too. I’m the Sharon Rose who writes science fiction and fantasy for those who prefer a cleaner read.

Tracy caught her first glimpse of him in the casino lounge. The only guy she couldn’t see.

His broad-shouldered, athletic build and shimmering green hair were clear enough, but not a single thought leaked. With nothing for her to read, he seemed invisible.

No matter. Hundreds of suckers were always passing through the space station. She only needed to select a few each night—and, of course, check the Syndicate’s watchers for suspicion.

Tracy meandered through gaudy rooms, gambling a few times for appearance’s sake. So many bodies—the air reeked. A winner’s cheer crowed above incessant chatter. She ignored it all, sifting and analyzing thoughts that flowed on currents only she could perceive. Then, she passed Joe in a crowded aisle so their touch would look accidental. He downloaded her information: the faces of likely prey; their preferred games and strategies; how much money they had;
