Today in the First Draft hot seat is YA author Sharon Sant.

Sharon was born in Dorset and divides her time between working as a freelance editor, holding down a day job, and writing her stories.  An avid reader with eclectic tastes across many genres, when not busy trying in vain to be a domestic goddess, she can often be found lurking in local coffee shops with her head in a book. She loves nothing more than watching geeky TV and eating Pringles. She is the author of several books including The Sky Song Trilogy and most recently a Dystopian YA, Runners.
