"Hello all...I was born in Australia in the early 60’s and spent my early childhood years living in the outer suburbs of a major city. My fondest memories of those years are ones of exploration as I lived out adventures with my friends in swampland and a nearby mountain. For many years I traveled the Australian outback with my parents and younger brother, visiting isolated communities and witnessing the spectacular scenery of this wild and beautiful land. My schooling was mostly home school, taught to me by my ever-patient mother. Writing became my passion in my early teens but it was not until I discovered love and motherhood that I found the real inspiration to write. A self confessed ‘late bloomer’ it took until my forties for me to find the self confidence to study freelance journalism and although I received excellent results I realized I am far too poetical and philosophical to be a hardnosed journalist. Now I concentrate on my poetry and the fantast novel I am writing (300 pages and growing). I now live in Queensland on the north east coast of Australia, although I am more in the hinterland then the coast and love my little bush hideaway. Read my work and check out my pics and you will get a fair idea who Sharonlee really is." -Sharonlee
