She is also the proud "mom" of Murdoc, a standard poodle, and three rescue kitties. Sherry writes fiction under the name Sherry A. Burton Sherry got her start in writing by pledging to write a happy ending to a good friend who was going through some really tough times. The story surprised her by taking over and practically writing itself. What started off as a way to make her friend smile started her on a journey that would forever change her life. Sherry readily admits to hearing voices and is convinced that being married to her best friend for thirty-plus years goes a long way in helping her write happily-ever-afters. Sherry is currently working on the third historical fiction book in her Orphan Train Saga, written under the name Sherry A. Burton. Sherry currently resides in Michigan's thumb and spends most of her time writing from her home office, and traveling to book signing events, and speaking at schools and other venues.
