Sherry Chamblee
Moderator, Group Advisor, Editor, Author Sherry finds life is always interesting, though often harried as she writes in her living room with grown kids and teenagers running in and out, as well as three dogs, three cats, two turtles, and a sardonic gecko leopard. (The turtles and gecko don't run so much as just stare.) While she enjoys life with her rambunctious family, her readers suspect that a sarcastic cat does most of her plotting while she's away. |
