Zoe Sharp was born in Nottinghamshire, England, and grew up living on a catamaran on the northwest coast of England. She opted out of formal education at age twelve and completed her studies by correspondence. After working as a yacht delivery crew, van driver, horse-riding instructor, and mortgage advisor, she became a freelance photojournalist in 1988. The Charlie Fox series grew out of her experience of receiving death-threat letters during her journalism work.
Sharp’s main body of work is the Charlie Fox thriller series, which follows an ex-Special Forces soldier turned bodyguard across 14 books published between 2001 and 2021. She has also written the Blake & Byron Thrillers, the Lakes Crime Thriller series set in the Lake District, and the standalone psychological thriller The Blood Whisperer. Her books have been nominated for the Barry, Edgar, Anthony, and Macavity awards. She lives in Cumbria with her husband.
