Sharon Darrow

Sharon Darrow's family is her first priority. She's been married 49 years, and has two daughters and four grandchildren. She's lived most of her life in Sacramento, where she still resides with her husband, Stan, their great dane, Ellen, and their three cats.

Sharon is an entrepreneur, having worked in family businesses for most of her life, and currently owns Travel ID Cards, which started off marketing the KidsTravelCard, a photo ID for children, and expanded to include other unique products, as well as custom ID cards.

Much of Sharon's inspiration for the KidsTravelCard came from her twin grandsons, who were diagnosed at 20 months with an autism spectrum disoder, but are now 14 and fully integrated in school, little league, and other activities. Learning how to be supportive for the boys and their parents meant learning about autism, about how special needs children affect a family, and how important the family support system is.

Sharon has been passionate about animal rescue after more than 20 years of raising orphan kittens. She no longer fosters kittens, but still works closely with rescue groups. Sharon's first book, "Bottlekatz, a Complete Care Guide for Orphan Kittens" is currently being used as a training manual for rescue groups throughout the United States and the United Kingdom. Her third book, “Faces of Rescue; Cats, Kittens and Great Danes” is full of stories and pictures of rescue animals.

In 2008 Sharon joined the National Association of Professional Women. She then formed the first local chapter in the nation for the group, and served as the President for 3.5 years. She is now President of the Northern California Publishers & Authors, and loves working in and serving the writing community.

Sharon's second book, “From Hindsight to Insight; A Traditional to Metaphysical Memoir." It includes a wide array of subjects, including suicide, Hell’s Angels, bi-polar disorder, a congressman, Alzheimers, kittens, ghosts, animal communications, children, autism, building a business, NAPW, reincarnation, cancer, dealing with death, business failure, business success, knife wielding hitchhikers, and much more –all true stories from her life.

Sharon firmly believes that life just gets better and richer, the longer you live. Her personal motto is “Find harmony within,then all things are possible.”
