Hi, I'm Sharon -- author of Veronica's Nap, publicist, blogger, book reviewer, mom.By day I'm vice president of a boutique PR firm. On the side I help a select list of authors publicize and market their books. A guest contributor to the award-winning blog Writer Unboxed, I also blog about mom-hood, writing, the work-family juggle and much more at at www.veronicas-nap.com. To get away from the screen I lead seminars for Boston's influential literary arts nonprofit, Grub Street, where I spearheaded the Grub Self-Publishing Network -- an online community for self, independent and alternative publishing news and info.A hopeless francophile, I lived for twelve years in Paris and Aix-en-Provence. I haven't quite decided whether I'm thrilled or furious that my Franco-Italian husband doesn't understand me when I speak English. While in Paris I put my masters degree from Columbia University's School of in International Affairs to use working at the O.E.C.D. It's been gathering dust ever since!When not working, blogging, reading, writing my next book (Henna) or ferrying my kids around after school, I take ballet and modern dance classes and daydream about having more time for everything and a pied-à-terre in Paris or Provence.
