DAWN
“And grave monstersof fable
in deeps of the
ferny forest
danced minuets
that witches had made
of their whims
and their laughter,
long ago
long ago
in their youth
before cities
had come
to the world.”

About Sharon Skinner
“I tend to come at difficult subject matter from a subtle direction, using fiction to delve into things that are often difficult to discuss rationally. In addition to the challenges of their often-heroic journeys, my characters deal with real-world issues like difficult relationships, dark secrets, prejudice, death, domestic abuse, questioning authority, and self-acceptance. I purposely avoid being preachy or didactic and I like to salt a bit of humor and mischievous fun into the mix.”
