Sharmyn McGraw
Sharmyn McGraw is a native of California and resides in Orange County. She's an internationally recognized patient advocate for those affected by pituitary tumors. After her own brain surgery for Cushing's disease, she found her passion for writing. Growing up with dyslexia, she feared writing so much as a Post-it note; but after her surgery, her passion to help others was bigger than her fear of writing. Sharmyn contributed to television and health journals to shed light on the often-misunderstood pituitary gland. After nineteen years in remission, she's writing about her other passion: fun, sassy mysteries featuring strong, passionate characters.

J.E. Larson
"Alaska Grown", with a passion for creating my own worlds... which comes in handy when you live in a uniquely beautiful place such as my home state.
Buy books on Amazon
I started writing in middle school with a good old-fashioned pencil and paper. Jotting down ideas of characters, adventures, and different worlds.
In my thirties, with the encouragement of my husband, I began writing... and writing... until I finally created my first trilogy(That story is yet to be told).
After the birth of our two daughters and work, I had to find the quiet 5 am mornings and the secluded nights after bedtime to finally give voice to my ideas. My greatest wish was to write my stories and to have others read and enjoy them with me.
So please enjoy what I have created.
