Autorentext
Sharon Rodgers is an Australian writer, teacher, and mother whose words cut deep and linger long after the final sentence. With a background in special and inclusive education, she writes with raw clarity about love, resilience, and the quiet devastations of motherhood. Her work draws from lived experience?navigating hospital corridors, diagnoses, and the daily heartbreaks and triumphs of parenting a child with chronic illness.
Sharon's voice is lyrical, unflinching, and deeply human. She writes to tell the truth, to bear witness, and to offer a hand to those walking the same invisible path.
Riptides is a collection of poems written as a love letter to her children and mother's everywhere.
She is currently working on her debut novel, The Kairos Protocol, a dystopian romantasy set in a fractured future where memory is currency and rebellion is survival.
