Sharon Schulze

Sharon Schulze began writing romance fiction shortly after graduating from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, while pursuing her first career as a civil engineer. She soon discovered that confirmed daydreamer/bookaholics can practice their craft anywhere, even someplace as unromantic as a wastewater treatment plant (her place of employment at the time!). In her writing, she gets the chance to experience days gone by--without encountering disease, vermin, and archaic plumbing. Sharon has written seven medieval romances--the l'Eau Clair Chronicles--for Harlequin® Historicals. The seventh, FOR MY LADY'S HONOR, is a March, 2006, release. She has also been a contributor to several online serialized romances--one of which, LAIR OF THE WOLF, was published by Dorchester--as well as a serialized murder-mystery for the Lawrence Eagle Tribune.

In 1995 Sharon's medieval romance HEART OF THE DRAGON was a finalist in RWA's Golden Heart Contest; shortly thereafter she sold the book to Harlequin® Historicals. More medievals--all part of her series the l'Eau Clair Chronicles--have followed. Her third book, THE SHIELDED HEART, was a nominee for a Romantic Times Magazine 1998 Reviewers Choice Award and one of the 1999 Barclay Gold Contest's Top Ten Favorite Romances. She is a past president of the Connecticut Chapter of Romance Writers of America (CTRWA) and a former RWA Region 1 Director. She is a member of RWA, several RWA chapters, the Authors Guild and Novelists Inc.

A New Hampshire native, Sharon lived in Ohio and Massachusetts before settling in Connecticut twenty years ago. She and her husband Cliff share their now-empty nest--a medieval writer’s dream complete with a moat and drawbridge (actually a brook and a bridge) with Samantha, a miniature dachshund who believes her purpose in life is to help "mom" write.
