A
native Nebraskan, Sherry James spent her youth riding and writing, and
all of those hours on the back of a horse gave her plenty of time to
think up a slew of stories. The first book she wrote (at the tender age
of 9) was three chapters long, with each chapter only being one page
long, and was written from the point of view of a horse. Hmm. Imagine
that!
A romantic at heart, Sherry was thrilled to discover the fictional world
of historical romance novels during her high school years. One day she
decided to get serious about her writing and pursue it as a career. And
guess what! She grew up to not only become a rodeo queen, but a
published author as well. All that riding and writing has sure paid off!
With a deep love
and appreciation for books, Sherry enjoyed many years as an assistant
manager for a Waldenbooks store, giving her valuable insight into the
book world.
These days she
writes full-time and is a
wife to one amazing husband, and the mother of two equally amazing kids.
She rides when she gets the chance and can’t imagine her life without
horses. An avid picture taker, Sherry loves to tell stories with her
photos as well by preserving them in keepsake albums where she hopes
they will be enjoyed and appreciated by generations of her family to
come.
She is a
founding member and past president of the
Prairieland
Romance Writers, and
a longtime member of
Romance Writers of America. Currently she
is working on more cowboy stories, both contemporary and historical. She has more
than 85 magazine and newspaper articles to her credit, and has won
numerous writing awards.
