About the Author

Sharon Lattery was born soon after the beginning of World War II. She moved to Skagway, Alaska, with her mother Rex, prior to the end of the War. She holds the honor of being Alaska’s first Child Development Associate and completed requirements for a B.A. in Human Development through a Master’s Able Program at Pacific Oaks College. She was extremely active in numerous councils, associations, conferences and committees during her 30-year career. Cold Climate Clips is Sharon’s first book; however, she has been surrounded by literary luster through her husband, Dennis, an author and poet, and her daughter, Denise Trutanic, a writer and editor. Seldom able to spend much time recreating prior to her retirement in 2001, she currently enjoys renovating her summer place in beautiful Seldovia, Alaska. She collects sea glass, unusual cookbooks, fishes, recreates and has experienced a late life interest in painting on large canvases in bold colors.
