Sharon Daggett Rasmussen listened entranced to the stories her mother told about her mother’s and grandmother’s lives on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Her family farmed what had been her grandmother’s original Indian homestead allotment and she attended the same schools as her mother and grandmother. Although her family moved to Oregon when she was still young, they kept up connections with Standing Rock family members and the land.

She has worked as a technical writer, feature writer, editor, and publications manager for more than 30 years for a variety of government agencies and nonprofits in the Washington, DC area. Ms. Rasmussen holds a B.A., cum laude, from Wesleyan University in American Studies and an M. Ed. from George Mason University.

The author is a member of the Western Writers of America. She has collaborated on several writing projects with her cousin George Gilland. This is their second novel in the Red Eagle Series. Along the Trail to Thunder Hawk was published in 2010 supported by a grant from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
