Sharon Wildwind

Sharon is The Calgary Mystery Lady. Originally from the southern United States, she came to Canada a long time ago. As a child, she read adventure stories, science fiction, and mysteries, and knew more about bush pilots than she did about social graces. It took her a while to realize that the guys always got the best adventures and the best lines, a situation she set out to remedy by making up her own stories.

After a couple of real life adventures—one involving being in the U.S. Army and one working in public health in northern Alberta—she realized it was easier to write about adventurous women than be one. Her Vietnam veterans series takes place in the early 1970s. For her three veterans—two women and one man—returning to civilian life is murder. She is also working on an as-yet-unsold series about an American woman who moves to northern Alberta looking for adventure, and boy, does she find it. Waiting in the wings is a stand-alone about a flight nurse, who has to prove she didn’t kill her patient before the police prove that she did.

Sharon also teaches writing and memoir workshops and has a burning ambition to help writers stop using their word processor like a typewriter.
