Sharon M. Peterson is a bestselling romance fiction novelist, hailing from the state of Washington. She is a former middle school teacher, and her background in education has given her a unique perspective and personality that is reflected in her writing. Peterson is a fan of classic literature and is particularly fond of a quote from John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath": "It was her habit to build up laughter out of inadequate materials." This sentiment is something she strives to emulate in her own life and in the characters she creates.
Peterson's debut novel, "The Do-Over," was released to critical acclaim and called "pure delight" by bestselling author Kristan Higgins. The book is set to be translated into three languages, which is a testament to its widespread appeal. Her second novel, "The Fake Out," was released in July 2023 and is filled with humorous and cheesy pick-up lines. Peterson's ability to infuse humor and lightheartedness into her stories has made her a popular author in the romance genre.
In addition to her writing, Peterson is a dedicated mother and wife. She lives in Washington with her husband and four children, including two autistic sons. She is also a proud pet owner, with one cat and two dogs sharing her home. Peterson has a love for tattoos and has one of her own, but she also has an intense fear of poodles, a quirk that adds to her unique personality. When she's not writing, Peterson can be found spending time with her family and working on creating new and engaging stories for her readers to enjoy.
