Sharon Leigh has been writing since childhood, crediting her lifelong love of poetry to a mother who read to her. Her work has appeared both online and in print anthologies, often centering around women’s issues, domestic violence survival and parenthood. When not writing she can be found at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, working alongside residents in the Pediatric, Orthodontic and Special Needs clinics. She lives in Michigan with her son, also having two adult sons in the Pacific Northwest and a daughter in New York.
