Sharon Chance

Sharon Chance has been a freelance entertainment journalist for the past sixteen years. As a regular contributor to the Wichita Falls Times Record News, she has written well over 3,000 articles covering everything from concert and movie reviews to museum openings to interviewing some of the top musicians performing today, including members of Bon Jovi, Guns N' Roses and Styx. But her true love lies in the world of books.

A voracious reader from a young age, Sharon began reviewing books at the urging of her sister-in-law, who was a big fan of the Oprah Winfrey Book Club. What began as a simple fun attempt at sharing her views of books she enjoyed has developed into a work of passion for Sharon.

In addition to being a senior book reviewer for the Times Record News, Sharon is also a regular guest contributor for the Las Vegas Review Journal’s Book Nook, a senior reviewer for FreshFiction.com, as well as having written for several other publications. A distant relative of the great Edgar Allan Poe, Sharon has a fondness for mysteries, especially those of the cozy kind.

Her blog, Sharon's Garden of Book Reviews (http://sharonsgardenofbookreviews.blogspot.com) has proven to be a popular stopping place for people looking for good recommendations for great reads for the past three years.
