Shari LaneShari Lane was reading voraciously by the time she entered kindergarten, and has been writing for almost as long. (Her first novel, hand-written and stapled together for her family, followed magical guinea pigs.) Her adult bio is multidimensional: techer, mother, lawyer, arbitrator, advocate for underserved and migrant farmworker communities-all adding up to possibilist. She started with an MA in Classics, taught Latin to middle schoolers and headed a Montessori preschool. Later, she earned her law degree, passing the bar in Oregon and Washington State. She briefly ran an employment business, then worked for employers with human resources departments, and earned her Arbitration certificate. She wound up building bridges, helping migrant farmworkers and their families, advocating for unhoused and food insecure people. Along the way, she wrote. Currently Shari Lane lives on Lopez Island WA with her husband and dog on Lopez Island, WA where she serves on the Library Board of Trustees, hosts a weekly open mic for writers, and serves as managing editor for SHARK REEF Literary Magazine.
