Sharon Brown Keith

Sharon Brown Keith lives outside of Tyler, Texas, in the charming community of Arp. She and her husband, Brian, have two grown sons, Chris and Charles, a daughter-in-law, Kaitlyn, and three precious grandchildren. In 2017, Sharon decided to write her first book, Mockingbird Moments: A Memoir, a story she had kept hidden in her heart for almost 25 years.

​

Sharon grew up in the historic East Texas town of Nacogdoches and graduated from Nacogdoches High School in 1981. She received a degree in education, curriculum, and instruction from Texas A&M University in 1985. Sharon completed her master’s of school counseling degree from the University of Texas–Tyler and has worked as a counselor since 2002.

​

In the summer of 2019, Sharon published the book, Creek to Creek: The Life and Legacy of Charles Raymond Bright. Later that year, she published the novel, A Southern Girl Re-Belles. The sequel, Getting Hitched, was published in 2023. Her most recent book, The Storytellers of Nacogdoches: Tales from the Oldest Town, a tribute to her hometown, was published in 2025.

Sharon plans to continue writing, and hopes to launch a new side-gig as a speaker.
