About
The real magic happens behind the scenes.
Sharlene Hardin spent forty years keeping big organizations running as an IT and operations executive for studios, networks and Fortune 100 companies, including Warner Bros., Fox and Blizzard Entertainment. She has led mergers, rescued stalled projects and built teams from scratch, and she learned early that the real magic always happens behind the scenes. Fairy Godmother 101 is where she finally gets to write about it.
Her debut novel follows Gwennie and her classmates at a hidden school for fairy godmothers. Assignments there are handwritten to stay off the radar of a shadowy agency called D.A.R.K., the weather has opinions, and the angels are closer than anyone thinks. It is the first book in a series about gifts, choice and the quiet work of looking out for one another.
Adoring mother of two grown children, Brittany & Brett, a lifelong learner with a soft spot for spirituality, tarot and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sharlene volunteers with Special Olympics and Angel Flight West. She lives in Long Beach, California, where she is at work on Book Two. She also shares her art, stories and reader extras as Sharlene Louise.
