Jacqueline asked Sherry Jones:

What are you working on now? I'm dying to know!!

Sherry Jones My next novel is about the world-famous African-American entertainer Josephine Baker, who went to Paris at age 19 and took the city by storm. She lived such a fascinating life, freewheeling and wild and so full of love, yet she suffered such heartache when life denied her the one thing she wanted most. She went on to become a courageoua war hero, awarded the French medal of honor, and one of the U.S.'s first outspoken desegregationists, even sacrificing her career for the cause!

Patricia Fischer asked Sherry Jones:

Sherry, This is such a powerful book. At times, I'm having trouble reading it because of what she went through as a child, but I keep reading because you've written it so beautifully. We also went to Paris this last summer and I couldn't help but think about Ms. Baker when we were there. How long did it take you to collect all this information?

Cintia

Cintia asked Sherry Jones:

Hi, my name is Cintia and I'm from Argentina. Being a writer is what I want the most in this world, nothing makes me happier than writing, but I'm more and more frustrated with each passing day, because I've been blocked for 3 years. And it is not that I have an unfinished story. I have NOTHING AT ALL. A blank page in front of me, that only makes me sadder... Is there a way to overcome this? How do you handle it?

Sara

Sara asked Sherry Jones:

Hi! I have read three of your books (because only those three are translated in my language). Well, you are one of my favorite authors, so it will be great if i have some advice from you about a novel that i'm writing. I have fiction characters in a real historical time(American civil war). What are your advice? What is more in important in such as this kind of novels and what is not?
