About the Author

Shar Thomas

Shar Thomas, an author hailing from Catonsville, MD, spent six decades on “The Hill” where her early life was heavily influenced by her mother’s traumatic experiences as a victim of sex trafficking. Due to these protective measures, Shar’s childhood was marked by a sense of timidity and caution, often leading her to miss out on typical youthful experiences. However, her life took a pivotal turn when she and her family relocated to the Mojave Desert following the inheritance of her childhood home.

This move was more than just a physical relocation; it was the beginning of a lifelong mission trip characterized by unforeseen adventures and divine guidance. Living in the desert has provided Shar with a wealth of unique experiences, from assisting in vehicle accident rescues to adapting to a completely new lifestyle. These experiences have profoundly shaped her writing.

Shar is dedicated to inspiring the younger generation through her stories, with a core message that faith in God can lead to a fulfilling and adventurous life. Her work is deeply supported by her husband of fifty-one years, her tech-savvy granddaughter Karis Thomas, her artistic granddaughter Kayla Thomas, and a close-knit group of friends. Shar’s writing encapsulates themes of faith, love, and life’s unexpected joys, making her a captivating author with a profound message.
