Veronica Shine

Before entering the field of writing, Veronica Shine had careers in the fashion, travel, theatrical and real estate fields.

Veronica, a native New Yorker, has always had a love and fascination for the city and the environment around her. During the first Earth Day as a teen, she washed down the statues and removed garbage from Central Park. Her interest lingered for a cleaner and breathable city. Her main concern was in lowering the smog level of NYC; which was at dangerous levels at that time. She became an active member of the Sidewalks of NY committee during her college years at Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and New York University. Although the group is no longer in operation, it was a first of its kind, thus becoming instrumental with necessary environmental changes needed in the city. This one group helped develop other off shoot organizations determined to protect the environment today.

Perhaps from being in the theater since a child, a natural transition to write emerged. Her published works have appeared in ezines and magazines in Europe, Canada and the United States, focusing on beauty, fashion, lifestyle and travel.

Married with one son, she and her family reside in Europe. Although now a full time writer, she still takes pride in keeping up with the environmental trends and informing her peer’s of recent alternative energy methods being used overseas.
