Sharn W Hutton

I'm currently working on the next in series for Phyllo Cane. This time Phyllo will be apprenticing in the Magical Menagerie. It's working out pretty fun so far...

Biography

I've written a couple of mysteries as 'Sharn Hutton' and am now writing middle grade magical fantasy as 'Sharn W Hutton' to separate the genres.

I seem to do a lot of thinking about hobbies, but not so much getting around to them! My current procrastination is creating a 'book nook model.' It's a a model of an Ink Imp house - as featured in Phyllo Cane and the Circus of Wonder. I love anything creative.

Favorite Character You Created

I love the Ringmaster in Phyllo Cane and the Circus of Wonder. He is not a man to be trifled with! I have also created a new character for the next Phyllo book called Schlepper who is a steampunk inventor - he is really fun too.
