Biography
I'm a huge fan of films and books created during the 1930s-50s, with their blend of sharp wit and dark suspense. That passion inspired me to write Bait and Switch, a mystery/romance set in 1943 and a finalist in the National Indie Excellence Awards, as well as its sequels: the noir-inflected Letter from a Dead Man and Always Play the Dark Horse (TouchPoint Press). My novels feature an intrepid, witty, imaginative female lead who's ripe for a little romance, even if it is mixed with espionage, deception, or murder. Always Play the Dark Horse brings in another of my passions, thoroughbred racing. Forthcoming is the fourth entry in the Jessica Minton series: Shadows of a Dark Past - a ghost story.
If you enjoy the strong female characters, humor, ingenious plotting, romance, and vivid recreation of eras past, my novels should be your cup of tea. CHECK OUT THE SNEAK PEEKS AT BAIT AND SWITCH, LETTER FROM A DEAD MAN, AND ALWAYS PLAY THE DARK HORSE ON MY WEB SITE: https://sharonhealyyang.com/
