Sherrinda Ketchersid - Sherrinda is a pastor's wife, a mother of four (and mother-in-law to a wonderful young woman!), and holds down a full time job in the office of a local elementary school. She's had a love for reading since a young girl and knew one day she wanted to write stories that would provide others with the joy and escapism she experienced with a book in her hands.
Sherrinda is a member of ACFW and has finaled in RWA/FHL chapter's Touched By Love contest this year. She has completed one historical/medieval book, and while loving all things medieval, she is going to try her hand at either a contemporary or a Regency next. At least until medievals become in vogue in CBA.
Still feeling like a newbie, Sherrinda is devouring writing craft books and honing her skills as a writer, trying to find time in her busy schedule to pursue her dream of publication. You can follow her progress and her thoughts on life at her blog: Sherrinda: Her Write of Passage
