ABOUT SHARON KITCHENS
Sharon Kitchens has lived in Maine for a couple of decades. Her first book, Stephen King’s Maine: A History & Guide (Arcadia Publishing, 2024), was a bestseller in Maine. The book is an oral history that captures the experiences of individuals who live in towns she identified as the locations that serve as the basis for King’s fictional Maine landscape. Stephen King endorsed the book, saying, “This book by Sharon Kitchens is really interesting. Not all of it is right, but most of it is.” She is also the author of The Murder of Dorothy Milliken, Cold Case in Maine (Arcadia Publishing, 2025). The meticulously researched book introduces readers to Dorothy and details the investigation into her nearly half-century old unsolved homicide. Every week she can be seen carrying an armload of library books. She loves hanging out in cafés eating chocolate croissants and sipping lavender lattes. Her fondness for Patti Smith’s poetry is matched only by her love of Taylor Swift’s lyrics. She is a cat and dog person.
