She graduated from National University’s MFA in Creative Writing in 2009 and published the novel she turned in as her thesis Secrets & Lies in El Salvador in 2015. Sherrie loves to travel and first traveled to other countries before finally deciding to see some of the U.S., places that foreigners she met had been to, but that she hadn’t. She is happily married to a teacher who identifies himself first, as a musician. They hope to someday travel together to places where she reads her novel(s) and speaks to people about writing and life while Angelo plays his piano and entertains the audience.

Her husband made a video for her novel. He wrote the song too:
Inside of this small, frail nursing major is a tiny writer screaming for acknowledgment. I have always been fond of reading and writing, wether it be short stories, poetry, novels, documentaries…You name it, Im obsessed with it. I have always told myself that my soul mate is a writer or a musician, because the only tool to better convey human emotion than words, is with music. Sometimes the two are coupled. I’ll be writing about my many suburban adventures with my dog Moose, stories of past experiences, insight on life in today’s world, and opinions on popular culture. Hopefully this introspective information benefits anyone.

Normally I don’t post links here, but even if I had figured out how to post one of these illustrations, I could not have decided which one to choose AND it would not have done justice to the collection. ENJOY! ;-)

Yes
Yup, women rock! And most of them were against war too! ;-)
Sadly, not so much anymore . . . I guess, eventually, no matter how far to the fringes of society, most will fall right into line when accepted by the mainstream.
Peace, love & KEEP REBELLING,
Sherrie
