Winds of Evil (Book One of The Laodicea Chronicles)

What would you do if your town was infested with demons?
Eden, Indiana. When Katherine Adamson returns to her idyllic hometown, everything has changed. The once peaceful town now has a deep evil boiling under the surface. Already it's threatening to escape. Two well–loved high school teens have disappeared, with a running car and a bloody shoe the only clues to their whereabouts. Strange lights have appeared over a local farm, leaving behind only blackened circles. The town's leaders are being blackmailed, and one has committed suicide. Katy has returned to settle her aunt's estate, but she finds herself battling a host of evil she never would have imagined.

Born in the rolling hills of southern Indiana to Appalachian parents, Sharon brings a rich heritage to her writing. A childhood spent wandering along crooked streams and dancing in meadows, coupled with a degree in molecular biology and a short career in opera, have created a patchwork personality that feels at home with many genres.

Sharon has lived here, there, and everywhere, preferring her native Indiana to all other lands. While living in Indianapolis, Sharon, whose name was then Sharon Ferguson, sang jingles with the likes of Sandi Patty and Steve Greene, through whom she met David Clydesdale, then of Singspiration Music. As a born–again Christian, Sharon happily said yes to a one–year commitment as a featured vocalist with Clydesdale's CCM group, Life Unlimited, touring the continental U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

Later, as an older student at both the University of Nebraska and Indiana University, Sharon studied human genetics, music, literature, and history, giving her a well–rounded approach to learning and a full quiver for writing.

A lifelong interest in the supernatural and how it might be portrayed in fiction and on film has led Sharon to her current career as a writer of supernatural thrillers. Married to fellow writer and cocreator of the MythArc series of books Derek P. Gilbert, Sharon is stepmother to a precocious and very gifted teen named Nicole, in addition to acting as assistant keeper to the Gilbert Zoo (three rag–tag rescue dogs named Murphy, Belle, and Gretel). The Gilberts live in Manchester, Missouri.
