Sharon Virts was a successful entrepreneur inspired to write a first novel after learning the history of the family who built the 19th Century Virginia mansion and historical landmark that she and her husband restored and saved from ruin. Together we cut her manuscript by a third, honed her character and story arcs, and polished her prose. Along the way Sharon’s writing improved and she learned to be an excellent self-editor of her prose. After her second novel was completed, a psychological thriller and courtroom drama based on a 19th century court case, Sharon was picked up by agent Wendy Sherman. Her first novel, “Masque of Honor,” was published by Rosetta Books. Her second books is forthcoming.
