In 1983 Ms. Jarvis left the field of publishing to start a literary agency. She is one of the few agents who has sought out new and untried authors. Her finds include Melanie Rawn, one of the most highly paid authors today, Vernor Vinge (winner of the Hugo Award), W. Michael Gear (best selling pre-history series), Thorarinn Gunnarsson (author of the Dungeons and Dragons line of games and books from T.S.R.) and Kevin Randle (whose book has been made into a Showtime movie ("Roswell") later shown on Network TV, and on video release; and with Robert Cornett whose Vietnam: Ground Zero series now includes over thirty volumes and is still going strong. In a declining publishing market, Sharon Jarvis has continued to make money for her clients. In her off hours, Ms. Jarvis teaches stage combat and choreographs fight sequences for regional theaters. She is expert in rapier and dagger, broadsword, quarterstaff, and hand-to-hand combat. She studied under weapons master Richard Rizk of the Chekov Studios in New York City and with T.J. Glenn, a professional stunt man. |
