Read about Sharon and her amazing life, and my interview with her.
About Sharon in her own words:
Sharon D. Anderson,
Ph.D., R.M.T., my legal name, and I write non-fiction under that name. For my
Fiction, I use S. D. Anderson.
My genre is Visionary
Fiction and I am a member of the Visionary Fiction Alliance. This genre was
born in 2000. It is so nice to have finally found a genre where I really
belong.
My newest release is a
print book, based on the properties of a special crystal, Russian Lemurian Ice
Quartz. I fell in love with this stone and felt so strongly about it that I
created a story around it: Stones and
Bones, the Crystal People Speak . Four years in process, this book evolved
continuously. I am working on the sequel: Stones
and Clones. Not very original, but the best that can be done at this time.
When I took a photo of
the stone, I was aware of his profile, but digitally when Todd Engel dropped it
on the cover, so many little beings began to show up. The Stone’s character in
the book is Thor-en, an inter-stellar being who is housed in the stone as
protection until such time as the human race is ready for the ancient knowledge
that this colony of stones holds.
An Interview with Sharon
Tell me three words that
describe yourself starting with A, B, and C.
Audacious, Benevolent, Creative
What are your three
favorite things?
Watching DVD’s, Crocheting or Knitting, working with
crystals
Are you self-published
or with a publishing company (if so, which one?)
I self-publish under Angelic Communications and
BookLocker.com in the genre of Visionary Fiction and Non-Fiction.
What for you is the best
part of writing?
For me it’s combining my Mystical life with my Creative
life, and probably the most challenging.
What is the worst?
Thinking that it should/could be better and is it really
what my readers want.
Is there a process you
stick to, or do you just write as it hits you?
I write from an outline, but it does change as the story evolves.
It always surprises me!
Music is a big influence on
my writing. I have certain songs that inspire each chapter, or the whole book.
What helps to inspire you?
Usually, I am inspired by something I read or a sentence
in a book or an idea that my guides may suggest. I do channel, but I think most
writers do. Isaac Asimov said: “Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my
fingers.”
When not writing, what can
you be found doing?
Reading, creating audio books, creating crystal grids, or
listening to audio books on my IPhone.
Favorite item (s) of
clothing in your closet?
My cashmere sweaters. I have a passion for them and hunt
for them in thrift shops and at Goodwill. Several of them are vintage, even
more delightful.
Favorite writer, book?
I usually say Jane Austen and I have one of her books on
audio, but my real favorite authors are: Ruth Montgomery, who started me on my
Mystic Life, and Betty Neels. I have 40 of her print books and probably another
10 on my Kindle. I also have a collection of books by David Hatcher Childress and
books on Atlantis that fill the bookcase. (I consider those my research
books.)And to round this out, some of Plato’s works. He has inspired my search
into Sacred Geometry and Atlantis.
When writing, which do you
prefer to write with, computer or paper and pen?
Both—I usually do my fiction on the computer screen, and outline
my non-fiction with notebook and pencil (so I can erase), then transfer the
notes to computer.

I enjoyed the interview with Sharon. Although I wasn't aware of Visionary Fiction as a genre of its own, I've used crystals in my stories at times. Remember crystal radio sets? Today's memory circuits may be replaced eventually with crystals. They might even be the future libraries. Wishing you success with your writing Sharon. Nice interview Diana.
