Sharon Cramer

Sharon Cramer is an aspiring time-traveler, alien princess, and master painter of Halloween faces. In the meantime, she writes from a dank, dark cave, somewhere in Washington State. An author and illustrator, Sharon has four children’s picture books including the multi-award winning MARLOW and the MONSTER. When not painting monsters, surfing black matter threads, and planning historical ruin and perfectly crushed hearts, Sharon can be found wandering around obscure Eastern Washington, talking to herself. Driven by sleeplessness and a seemingly endless draw to the keyboard (and the occasional extra strong coffee), she is inspired by unorthodox friends and extreme weather. Mother to three sons, a good horse, and several dozen fish (most of which have names), she is married to a man who surely has won the Nobel Prize for Extreme Tolerance.
