I usually celebrate February (my birthday month) by setting up a giveaway contest via Goodreads or Rafflecopter, and engage my readers and followers to enter. On occasion, I’ve hired a promotional specialist to host a virtual tour for the week of my birthday. However, this year is different. This year (2021), I turn the big 6-0. Whoa. Just thinking about it makes my head spin. Looking at the big picture, sixty is a milestone in my life, as well as in my crazy writing career. In the last ten years, I’ve had the opportunity to publish five books with a small press publisher, and launched two young adult book series. Woohoo!
Another milestone to be celebrated this year is the tenth anniversary of this blog, Sharon Ledwith: I came. I saw. I wrote., happening in May. I feel a sense of accomplishment and gratitude, yet at the same time a smidgen of discontent has wiggled its way into my fragile psyche. Perhaps it’s the continuance of the Covid-19 pandemic and remnants of the political upheaval we’ve all experienced. Or maybe it’s that I’ve noticed the publishing landscape has changed so much since I landed my first contract in 2011. I honestly don’t recognize the publishing paradigm anymore, and I’m sure many authors would agree with me. In hindsight, I guess I shouldn’t take myself so seriously. Instead, I think I’ll learn to be more flexible and just go with the flow in these ever changing times.

Not
sure what to read first? Here’s a glimpse of the premises of both my young
adult series:
Mysterious Tales
from Fairy Falls Teen Psychic Mysteries…
Imagine
a teenager possessing a psychic ability and struggling to cope with this
freakish power. There’s no hope for a normal life, and no one who understands. Now,
imagine being uprooted and forced to live in a small tourist town where nothing
much ever happens. It’s bores-ville from the get-go.
Welcome to Fairy Falls. Expect the
unexpected.
The Last
Timekeepers Time Travel Adventures…
Chosen
by an Atlantean Magus to be Timekeepers—legendary time travelers sworn to keep
history safe from the evil Belial—five classmates are sent into the past to
restore balance, and bring order back into the world, one mission at a time.
Children are the
keys to our future. And now, children are the only hope for our past.
