Margaret Sharp (margaretlynettesharp) | 35 comments Hello. :)
A little over two years ago, I started to write a book: a collection of Short Stories. Since I'd studied writing in this genre, as well as freelance journalism, I thought it likely that, in time, I'd have enough stories to publish as a paperback. Little did I know that, in a couple of years, I'd be the proud writer of no less than six self published volumes, several of which have received very pleasing reviews from independent sources.
Doubtless, the skill of my husband Ronald Sharp B.E.M., (the Sydney Opera House Grand Organ Creator), in editing my books has contributed to their approval rating. He is also responsible for the design of their covers.

My most popular title so far has been A Taste of Life and Love in Australia A Taste of Life and Love in Australia by Margaret Lynette Sharp

Many thanks to those who take the time to read the reviews so kindly provided by Goodreads members.

Margaret Sharp (margaretlynettesharp) | 35 comments My first volume in the 'Life and Love' series: indeed, my first volume, period: is entitled:25 Stories of Life and Love in Australia 25 Stories of Life and Love in Australia by Margaret Lynette Sharp
There's a selection of themes here: from family ties and life choices, to first love and love in spite of opposition. Although many tales are more correctly vignettes, they are quite engaging and distinctly Australian.
So far reviewed by Goodreads members Jeanette and Mark, who each rated this volume five stars, this book is available both in paperback and Kindle.

Margaret Sharp (margaretlynettesharp) | 35 comments Long and Short Australian Stories Long and Short Australian Stories by Margaret Lynette Sharp is my sixth title. It's been reviewed by the well-respected Sheeleyrae at Book'd Out, and GR member Mark. Both wrote many positive words about it.
As the title suggests, the stories are of various lengths. With characters ranging widely in age, the tales encompass many themes, but are dominated by issues pertaining to love, such as jealousy and hope.
It's available in both Kindle and paperback editions.
