Sharon
A Lavy lives with her husband in SW Ohio.
When not reading, writing, or sewing for her family, she enjoys
traveling with her husband in the small plane they call Charley.
She is best known in the novel writing community, as that German
Baptist lady.
In the Old German Baptist community she's a dressmaker, a pattern
maker, and the sister who writes books set in NW Ohio—a place called the Ohio
Valley.
But in her own mind she's a wife, a mother, and a grandmother, but
above all a child of God. ~~ Her greatest desire is to be a woman after God's
own heart~~ Sharon has a heart for hurting women, and writes women's fiction.
Because when~~it's all said and done~~It's all about relationships.

About the Book:
Sara Brubaker
was two years old when a German Baptist couple adopted her. She has become a
beautiful woman, and works as a secretary for Alexander's. Now she's torn
between wanting to live in the normal world of fun and fashion, or joining the
Dunkards to truly belong with her adoptive family.
Birdie
Alexander thinks if she works at the family business hard enough and long
enough she will gain her father's love. Can she learn a thing or two from the
German Baptist secretary?
Irene West is
Birdie's lifelong Sunday school friend. Irene misses having a father figure
around, and is very boy crazy, which causes Birdie to struggle with the
friendship and Irene to struggle with life.
Will Birdie
overcome her self-righteous nature before it's too late—for Irene?

Your
unique talent:
I can roll my tongue. I thought everyone could. But
lately I have learned that is not true. So I am looking for ways to use this
talent. Any suggestions?
Are you a “pet person” or prefer no pets?
Would
you rather travel or stay at home?
Like many writers, I am a deep introvert. So if the
choice is social or stay at home I may choose stay at home. But husband has a
small plane and we do love to travel.
Do you
read more or write more?
I write more. Or at least I sit in my chair and stare at
the blank screen. I understand reading is the writer’s homework so my goal in
2013 is to read more.
Prefer
cake or pie?
Ouch. Unfair question. I am now reacting to wheat and
sugar with blood sugar crashes. So all real deserts are off limits to me. But I
love both. Cookies too.
Would,
or do, you ride a motorcycle or prefer to ride/drive a car?
In my youth, I have ridden on the back of a motorcycle.
In my mature years I limit my daring activities to riding in a two passenger plane
cross country with my awesome husband.pilot
Bus or
taxi or walk? (In your case, I forgot to ask, fly?)
I prefer to ride. But we have done a fair bit of walking
on our travels.
Are
you part of a big church congregation or a small church?
I am part of a small denomination of roughly 2,000
members nationwide. Our local congregation has less than 90 members. So we are
cozy.
Do you
like to telephone people or prefer to use e-mail?
Hands down I choose email. I consider texting a bit of a
pain too with the small keyboard. But I did finally consent to learn how to
text.
Are
you happy or joyful?
Giggle. You caught me in the middle of a good year,
today.
Do you
eat at home or eat out?
Yes. (that means both.) Husband likes to eat out because
he likes to make eating an event.
Listen
to music or prefer quiet?
I do enjoy music sometimes, but I really crave quiet
time.
Prefer
sunrises or sunsets?
I love both, but I am more apt to be awake
for a sunrise than for a sunset.
Do you use a real-life town in northwest Ohio, a fictitious one, or do you just not specify? My dad was from Tiffin.
ReplyDeleteIt is SW Ohio. I use fiction names. I took some landmarks that I love from Tipp City, Troy and etc and made them into one big state park. These locations show up in most of my books. I just realized the Forest Hill Park in not in my current wip. Must remedy that. LOL.
ReplyDeleteSo cool to learn more about you, Sharon. Thanks for sharing. Adoption has touched me also -- I was adopted and have two internationally adopted children!
