Sharon Lee was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1952. Graduated high school in 1970, attended
University of Maryland Baltimore County as a mild-mannered night student while cutting a
fearsome swath through the secretarial field by day. Her career peak was reached in 1976 upon
achieving the post of administrative aide to the Dean of the School of Social Work, University of
Maryland Professional Schools. In 1978, she decided life was too tame and predictable, left her plush job and opened a bookstore with the money from her retirement fund.
After Book Castle went bankrupt, she worked a series of odd and odder jobs, the most memorable
of which was delivering tractor trailers, though selling cider at the Baltimore City Sunday Farmer's
Market was fun, too. On the odder side, she worked as an advertising copy writer, both in-house
and freelance.
In 1980, she and partner Steve Miller married their fortunes, books, records and cats together.
