Sharon Kendrick was born in England, and grew up near Heathrow Airport. She has been writing stories for as long as she can remember and completed her first book at the age of eleven. It featured identical twins fighting evil at their boarding school, but sadly this early manuscript has been lost.

She has been a waitress, a cook, a dancer and a photographer. She has worked in shops and sung in bars and she qualified as a nurse and drove an ambulance across the Australian desert!
When she settled down and married her dashing doctor, she decided life was not a rehearsal and that if she wanted to write a book she'd just have to sit down and do it. Not easy with a lively toddler and a six-month-old baby while living in a tiny apartment. But she did it, and so Nurse in the Outback was born, and it was accepted by Mills & Boon without any changes.
