The Plot Thickens | Sharon Hinck

By

Each Sunday “Inspired by Life…and Fiction” shares a Christian novelist’s newest book and the garden spots where they find inspiration.

Sharon Hinck writes “stories for the hero in all of us,” about ordinary people experiencing God’s grace in unexpected ways. Known for their authenticity, emotional range, and spiritual depth, her novels include contemporary fiction such as The Secret Life of Becky Miller or Stepping into Sunlight and the groundbreaking Sword of Lyric fantasy series which includes The Restorer’s Son–Expanded Edition. She’s been a Christy finalist and won three Carol awards. Sharon’s undergrad degree is in education, and she earned an M.A. in Communication. When she isn’t wrestling with words, Sharon enjoys speaking to conferences, retreats, and church groups. She loves interacting with visitors at her website and blog: www.sharonhinck.com.

Sharon writes–and gardens when weather allows–in Minnesota.

  1. How nice to meet Sharon! Where in MN do you live? I was born & raised in St. Paul–my parents had a cabin near Brainerd (Crow Wing County) and what caught my attention was the tongue & groove knotty pine in your office, where you write! I miss Minnesota (was back in August for a niece’s wedding) so when I had my family room rebuilt, I asked the contractor to do the walls w/ tongue & groove knotty pine! It’s my favorite room! I’ll be requesting your books from my county Bookmobile!

  2. Love the pics of you in your garden, Sharon! There’s such joy in your face! It’s clear that working with plant life energizes you. 🙂
