Sharon E. Buck, an Amazon best-selling author renowned for her humorous cozy

mysteries with a Florida twist, balances her creative endeavors with the meticulous work of editing, formatting, and ghostwriting business books. She lives in northeast Florida close enough to the Atlantic Ocean to smell the salt air but far enough away that she doesn’t have to wash the beach sugar sand from her feet.
