Author Spotlight: Sharee Stover

Hi friends! Today, our author spotlight is on Sharee Stover! Everyone, say hello to Sharee! Without further ado, let's get to know Sharee and her book Grave Christmas Secrets.


Author Bio:
Colorado native Sharee Stover lives in Nebraska with her real-life-hero husband, three too-good-to-be-true children, and a ridiculously spoiled dog. A self-proclaimed word nerd, she loves the power of the written word to ignite, transform, and restore. She writes Christian romantic suspense combining heart-racing, nail-biting suspense and the delight of falling in love all in one. She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers, Sisters in Crime, and Nebraska Writer’s Guild. Sharee is a triple Daphne du Maurier finalist, winner of the 2017 Wisconsin Fabulous Five Silver Quill Award, and her debut, Secret Past, won Best First Book in the 2019 National Excellence in Romance Fiction Awards. When she isn’t writing, Sharee enjoys reading, crocheting and long walks with her obnoxiously lovable German Shepherd. Visit her at https://shareestover.com/.


Here's Sharee!

Grave Christmas Secrets is by far, my most favorite book to date. Tons of research went into the story before, during, and while the manuscript was developing, including trips to the actual location of Ashfall Fossil Beds where the book opens. My research trips took me all the way from the Chief Standing Bear Bridge in South Dakota to Omaha’s Offutt Airforce Base.

I even met with a real forensic anthropologist! She was absolutely fascinating and I learned so much. I could’ve spent days touring her laboratory and asking questions. I was especially interested in her current project, which is the identification and repatriation of missing military men and women from the USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor. I wasn’t able to take pictures for privacy reasons, but I have a great appreciation and respect for the mission of the Department of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.

There’s also an abandoned school house in the book that exists here in Nebraska, too. No spoilers, but it’s my favorite scene in the story and I’m not going to lie. I kind of scared myself writing it. Talk about getting into your work. LOL.

I find all things forensic fascinating and confess, I can get stuck in the research fun for too long. But I hope that’s what makes the story believable and enjoyable to the readers.


Grave Christmas Secrets Blurb

Discovering buried evidence makes her a target.

At a prehistoric site, forensic anthropologist Taya McGill uncovers a recently buried body days before Christmas—and finds herself in a killer’s sights. Now on the run with undercover ATF agent Keegan Stryker, she must rely on him to guard her as they figure out why someone would kill to keep this murder unsolved. But can they unearth the truth before someone silences them both for good?
