Sharon Otis Ed.D

I have been writing since 1980 when I wrote three children's books. I love to write like a therapist with the goal of changing lives or affirming what people have lived through . Since I have a doctorate in counseling and theology I like to write inspirational books.I have survived cancer against strong odds and a medical crisis last summer so my spiritual life was important in the next group of books.

I love children. I started as a third grade teacher and then taught special education and then became a school counselor. I also tried to be a school principal but did not feel the contact I wanted with children. I then worked in the hospital and opened my private practice thirty years ago.

Everything is written with the child in mind. The first book I wrote was about my own children and going through a divorce,Tammy's smile and the next was Timmy's Laugh was a true story of a young man who went thought abuse. In 2000 I started to write with our inner child in mind. The child in all of us that has some spiritual longing is a source of the last two books.

High Maintenance Children, has been my best publication and was translated in Mexico.

I have six grand children so that will probably my next audience.
