Sharon Kreider

Bestselling author Sharon Kreider, a former mental health therapist turned writer, weaves the emotional and psychological fabric of the human condition into her writing and prose to help shed light on many relevant issues facing society today—its conflicts, tragedies, and windows of hope—something her life has mirrored.

Born and raised in a small northern Canadian town, she left home at an early age to travel the world and eventually settled in Colorado, where she penned her first book, Sylvie, a women’s fiction novel that examines a family’s love for one another, acceptance, and letting go.

Sharon’s second book, Wandering … A Long Way Past the Past, is a remarkable travel memoir. It is an exceptional account of courage, love, overcoming adversity, and forgiveness, spanning her three-year solo adventure from Canada to Asia in the late 1970s.

When Sharon is not writing, you can find her hiking the hills or kayaking the lake near her home in summer, cross-country skiing in winter, and as a long-time yoga instructor, teaching a yoga class from time to time. She lives a quiet life with her husband in the Pacific Northwest.
