This is where I need a little help from my Mojo friends. Don't wait. Pre-order your copies today at www.underdogpress.com so this backwoods Kentucky writer's dream can ... more

THE GIRLS WE FOLLOWED HOME The girls we once followed home are now the bag ladies, or one of them is that white-haird old crone who whacked you with her cane. The girls we once followed home sit on bed pans in nursing homes, play shuffleboard at the public park. Those girls we followed home, no longer rub their bodies with oil under the sun, no longer primp before the beautiful mirror, those girls we followed home, those girls we followed home have gone somewhere, some forever, and we who followed them? Dead in wars, dead of heart attack, dead of yearning, thick of shoe and slow of speec ... more

Recently, I have put aside all my non-fiction books and attempted to make time to enjoy great quotations, poetry and other books. Although I already knew the famous line from Hemingway and my family speaking of it, I recently heard Orson Welles recite it on an old radio show and it sent chills. So, I post it here: No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manner of thine own Or of thine friend's were. Each man's death diminishes me, For ... more

Well, the day I have waited for has finally arrived. My debut novel, Celtic Sacrifice went up for pre-sale on the Underdog Press website yesterday. Am I nervous? Very. In order to have my first print run, we have to get the pre-sales in the barn. That means I need a little help from my friends. OK- alot of help from my friends. And if you know me at all, you know that I don't like asking for help for myself. "But Sheryl," you ask. "Your day job is sales. This should be easy." Au Contrair, Mon Frair. I can sell things for someone else. Now I have to sell something for me. It's a completely d ... more
