Dr Sharon Hamilton has called Ottawa her home for more than 30 years. The daughter of an architect, Sharon holds a Ph.D. in English and completed one of her graduate degrees at Carleton University in Ottawa. She has taught classes on research and writing at universities in Austria, Italy, the United States, and Canada, including at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa. Sharon's memoir pieces have appeared in Canada’s national newspaper, The Globe and Mail, and in the country’s premier journal of arts and culture, The Literary Review of Canada. A specialist in the history and culture of the 1920s, Hamilton’s work on Canada and the Jazz Age has appeared in The Routledge Companion to Ernest Hemingway and in Ottawa Baseball History. She blogs regularly about literary tourism for the International Hemingway Society, including about Hemingway and his first wife Hadley Richardson’s time in Canada.
