About The Author
Sharon Lene Yorks was born and raised on a wild west show, performing as
a trick rider by the age of eight. By her teenage years, when some girls
are just learning to ride a horse, she had already ridden a bull, camel,
llama, ostrich, zebra, donkey, elephant, buffalo, zebu, and yak. Though
she admits the zebra ride only lasted a second.
Later she began competing at professional rodeos as a barrel racer, sometimes traveling to as many as five rodeos a week. In one year she made it to four different association finals and a regional, claiming her twin sister, Karen, was her toughest competitor and the driving force behind her success.
As a graduate of the Institute of Children's Literature and a former member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, she is now writing about her adventures. She has just completed her third novel which was released December 1, 2008. She's also written a screenplay based on her Cloverleaf Series.
Sharon lives in Valley City, Ohio with her husband Donnie, and two sons, Shardon and Caylum. She also has a daughter, Stephanie, who lives in Canton with her family
