The authors
BIOGRAPHY OF F. SHARON SWOPE
F. Sharon Swope began creating stories when she was ten years old and never stopped. Except for a weekly column in her local newspaper, however, she did not seek publication until she was in her 80s. Instead, Sharon married and raised four children to become lovers of books, reading and writing. Sharon was inspired by her youngest daughter Allyn M. Stotz, a successful children’s book author, to pursue her dream of writing books. Since she was in her eighties, she realized that if she was ever going to write down the stories in her head, she had better get started. She sat down and drafted Twist of Fate, written in collaboration with her second daughter, Genilee. Sharon and Genilee went on to draft the rest of the Fate Series, as well as a book of inspirational short stories. Sharon, who is now in her 90s, lives in Glen Rose, Texas.

I just finished your first book. Loved it. I wanted it to never end. I have a question, is Danny really Sam’s son? Or did I miss something? I bought your books at the Garfield craft bazaar. After reading the first one I went one to amazon and bought the kindle version so I could give the books to my niece.

Mary: a comment like that makes my day. Who Sam’s son is, is an ongoing mystery not yet solved. But you are not the first one to ask that question. It surprises Mom and I that people think Danny is the one.
Please keep on reading and let us know what you think. If you can take the time to provide a review on Goodreads or Amazon, we would LOVE it.
Did I get your email? Would like to put you on the list for when a new book comes out. And I’d love to know what you think of the rest of our series.

Oh great make me wait. Hahaha. I love reading so this should be fun. Are the books suppose to be connected? Or will there be another series come out of each one? I’ve got to get back to reading the second book. I usually do review when amazon ask for one. I’ll check out goodreads as well. I didn’t give you my email that day but here it is Mary.horton.adams@Verizon.net. Yes I would love to know when another is published! By the way do you get $$ when ebooks are bought? I hope so. Blessings to you and your mom. Merry Christmas!
