Sharon Maria Bidwell

Sharon is a writer from the UK. Her first accepted work was a short story ‘Silver Apples of the Moon’ published by Roadworks Magazine. The editor quoted it as accepted due to having ‘both a Sci-fi and horror element, strong on characterisation, and quite literary, in terms of style’. Editor, Trevor Denyer, said that it was a story that ‘had me gripped from start to finish’ and as a result pronounced her as ‘a writer who is going places’. Since then, her work - poems, short stories and articles - have appeared steadily in print and online publications. She links her most favoured and often most successful work closely to fantasy, though her writing crosses genres, something the romance industry gives her the freedom to do.

Reviews

• Just Erotic Romance Reviews The Swithin Chronicles 1: Uly’s Comet was mysterious and gripping. Gloriously handsome and virile men were everywhere in this novel. I loved each one of them, especially Ryanac. I realize he was not the prince, but his sense of fun and duty won me over. When Ryanac extended his affection to the people around him, he made me believe. He managed to bring all the characters in this novel together.
• Two Lips Reviews This was the story of a very giving, understanding, but lost, leader who depends on his friends to ground him and keep him safe. I found it interesting, entertaining even though it was a little disconcerting. A good read that will have you thinking and make you want to call your best friends and thank them for all they do and who they are. I recommend this book to all that like to read about political intrigue, magical powers, and the more emotional aspects of relationships and how they form.
• Well, my goodness. A literary vampire tale that does not have the word "vampire" in it. It's a love story, of course, not a vampire story. Still, how could I possibly refuse this one...? Tyree Campbell, Managing Editor, Sam's Dot Publishing (re: Effigy in Garnet - approx publication date currently set for Sept '07)
• 'Sharon's work is like strawberry threads in a sweet azure world. With her delicate, flowing, miasma-like prose she weaves a world around her readers, takes them on a journey, and lets them peer through her own unique looking glass. Sometimes through this glass you will see a world of rainbow colours; sometimes an altogether much darker place. Her writing is an intense and mesmerising experience, I find each of her works - be it poetry, a short story, or a novel in progress - always a fascinating marriage of beauty and terror. Stuart Thorogood, Author
