Sharon Donovan

[Hywela Lyn]

I seem to be a rather infrequent visitor here lately.  I apologise, between regularly writing for three blogs, including myown, preparing for a trip to the States, horses, home and a husband,  and trying to finish my current WIP I don't seem to have a lot of time for much else.

I know many people here were friends with or had communicated with Sharon Donovan, author of such gripping stories as Charade Of Hearts (Which won the P & E category for 'short' stories this year, although it was actually a novella - thanks so much to all who voted for her)   Mask of The Betrayer, and Inspirational stories including 'Lasting Rose' to name but a few.  You probably also know that she had batttled diabetes most of her life and eighteen months ago had a major heart operation and came back still feisty, full of fun and writing .  Sadly Sharon passed away on 11th April after several months in hospital following a second heart operation.   

                  

There is a tribute post on the post we ran together with Mary Ricksen and Patsy Parker -

if anyone would like to leave a comment on either blog you'd be most welcome.

I feel incredibly sad, and sorry I won't now get to meet this wonderful lady in person, but I know she would not want us to be sad for too long, and she lives on in our hearts and her books.
