Inspired by Life ... and Fiction

Novelists bound by the pen, sisterhood, & more

The Plot Thickens | Sharon K. Souza

July 19, 2015 By Deborah Raney

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

Sharon K. Souza is the author of Every Good & Perfect Gift and Lying on Sunday, both contemporary women’s novels. She and her husband, Rick, became engaged 15 days after meeting (!) and have been married more than forty years. They have three grown children (one who now resides in heaven), and seven grandchildren. Sharon’s garden spot is in northern California, but she has traveled with Rick to Mexico, Japan, South Africa and Jamaica, where he is involved in physically and strategically building the kingdom of God. Rick has experienced Siberia in December, been robbed in Colombia, and been called in for questioning by the authorities in Cuba. While Rick lives the adventure, Sharon is satisfied to create her own through her fiction. For more about Sharon, go to www.sharonksouza.com.
