Shari Low

Born in Glasgow in 1967, Shari spent her first sixteen years living in Scotland. At age 16 she left school and began a career in sales, selling fire extinguishers to clients in the UK, Ireland, and Amsterdam. Shortly after her stint as a sales person, Shari returned to her native Glasgow and worked as a manager for nightclubs around the city. She went on to manage nightclubs in Sheraton hotels in Shanghai and Hong Kong. At 23 she went back to Glasgow and found work as a sales manager for a UK company. During this time she also met and married her husband.

She decided to pursue writing in 2000. Her first novel, What If? was published in 2001 by Piatkus Books. Its sequel, Why Not?, was published the following year. In 2011, she is now author of seven books – several of which have been translated –, contributor to an anthology, and writer of a weekly book column and several articles for the Daily Record.

She currently lives in Glasgow with her husband and two sons.
