Her stories are often dark, dealing with the realities of this world, and yet she's able to weave hope and love within the words for the readers who clamor for her latest works. One faithful reader has crowned her the "Reba of Romance," while others claim she's a magician with words.

Through traveling and speaking and the countless thousands of fan letters she has received, Sharon has touched many lives. As fate would have it, the first publisher she sent it to bought it, and she hasn't looked back.Īs a farmer's daughter, and then for many years a farmer's wife, Sharon escaped the drudgeries of life through the pages of books, and now, as a writer, she finds herself often living out her dreams.

By 1989, she decided she had come far enough in her writing to attempt another try at book-length fiction and began a book that would later be entitled Sara's Angel. She joined writers' groups and attended conferences, and she slowly learned her way around the written page. She vowed then and there that she was not going to wind up on her deathbed one day with regrets for not following through on her dreams. Her father died in May of 1985 after a lingering illness, and then, only two months later, her only sister died unexpectedly. However, she let life and the demands of a growing family delay her from continuing until a tragedy struck. A second book followed in 1981 and suffered a similar fate, but she claims the writing bug had bitten hard.

Her first efforts at writing came in 1980 when she began a book that wound up under her bed. It was a job she hated that drove Sharon Sala to put the first page of paper in an old typewriter, but it was the love of the craft that kept her writing. Dinah McCall is a pseudonym for author Sharon Sala.
