Sharina Harris Books In Order

Publication Order of Standalone Novels

Sharina Harris is an American author. She has written romantic novels under her pen name of Rina Gray.

She attended Georgia State University and graduated with her degree in Bachelor of Arts. Once done with college, she decided that she was going to go into the field of public relations and digital marketing. The profession did involve writing but in 2012 the author decided it was time to pursue a career focused in writing exclusively.

Sharina is married and has a child with her husband. When she is not busy writing she can be found either reading, watching NBA and supporting her favorite teams, or hanging out with family and friends in Atlanta.

The author describes herself as being a dreamer. While she thinks that the world is perhaps not often kind to this type of person and it kept her from being afraid to be herself because of the stigma of being seen as impractical or getting a pitying look. She says that she understands that others might see pursuing happiness as a difficult and long path and many give up, but she believes that it’s worth it to go after what makes you happy.

Sharina says that while she’s always known her purpose in life, she didn’t always listen or believe in herself to pursue it. She’d always wanted to be a writer and had been writing since she was in elementary school. When she went to high school, she was still interested in becoming a writer. One of her teachers gave her a book on careers involved for those majoring in English. When she looked at the average salary for becoming a journalist, it wasn’t as high as she would have hoped, so she decided to switch things up.

The author decided that she wanted to pursue public relations for the money as well as the focus on having the chance to write. She got into the field with a position that combined public relations and marketing. While she was good at the job, it wasn’t something that excited her. A turning point occurred when she was working in a stressful job for a start up. She was laid off in 2012 and while wallowing in her feelings, she also heard an internal voice that told her that she could wallow or ‘get up’ and write.

Harris knew that she had financial obligations and bills, with writing being the last thing that she may logically be doing. She was battling with herself about it but eventually decided that she would stop crying and start writing. Since then she has participated in writing groups, worked on her writing, and published several books. She also got a second opportunity to try and pursue a career that made sense to her. She also landed a corporate job for a great company that allows her to pay bills and gives her time to write in the evening.
