Sharon Clark Chang was raised in Richmond, Virginia, in a family whose forbears included some of Virginia’s earliest settlers as well as 19th-century immigrants who arrived on famine ships. She is a graduate of The George Washington University, with a degree in International Affairs/East Asian Studies. After an 18-year career with the Central Intelligence Agency’s Clandestine Services, she worked in advocacy for Americans of Asian descent. Still later, she formed a one-of-a-kind consultancy serving minority-owned small businesses. Together with a brace of terrierists, a relentless sense of humor, and a reputation for being incorrigible, she currently lives in a Northern Virginia city located not far from the sites of the Escaped Alone action.
