AUTHOR'S BIO:  Sharon Woods lives in central Oklahoma with her husband of 42 years. She was born and raised in a small town in southwestern Oklahoma. Blessed with a good memory she entertained her friends and family with her stories of her childhood. After a while she began submitting a few of those stories to newspapers and when they were printed she discovered others enjoyed reading about a more simple time in history, too. When a well known local author encouraged her to compile her stories into book form she decided to give it a try. Sharon was happy to find that she is able to write more than one book and is currently working on two others. She is the mother of two daughters and six grandchildren. She enjoys oil painting as well as writing.

REVIEWS/QUOTES:

Killing Time by Sharon Wood is a great read.  Woods captures the early 60’s in a small Oklahoma town with an eye as accurate as that of a photographer.  Her dialogue rings true, and her minor characters march through the pages as real as if they had just left the A. and B. Café in Love, Oklahoma.

 Angelica Ryan, called Jelly, has grown up without a mother, but her father, town   lawman, makes sure she understands the facts of life by taking her to his maiden aunt to discuss things.  Jelly is a “good girl,” but she is also in love, or at least she thinks she is.  She is about to graduate from high school, and she does not know what the future holds for her.  Vietnam is important in Jelly’s life, just as it was in the lives of all of us who lived through the 60’s.    Jelly’s longings and confusions will stir memories in the hearts of readers, and when, at the end, the girl finally knows who she is and where she is going, the reader too will have grown.  -- Anna Myers, Author of 13 young adults novels
