She also has a Masters in Communications from West Virginia University.She and her husband now live in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and have two children, four Grandchildren, and rescue small dogs.Story telling is a large part of West Virginia culture, and Sharon is a direct descendant of several winners of local Liars Contests, where many men, women, and children compete by telling the biggest tall tale they can manage. But story telling is not only used as entertainment, it also provides a living history of their past. Many of the stories she will be using in this series, are ones told by people living in her county, who remember the stories handed down from generation to generation, about actual events that occurred during the Civil War.Many descendants of those who fought in Calhoun County, are involved in the annual reenactment of those events, and represent their ancestors who fought there.It is her hope that she can give the world a better view of the rich cultures that exist in West Virginia, as well as insight into God's deep and non-judgmental love He has for us, His children.показать меньше
