about Sheryl:
I wrote books about the Egyptian Pyramids and Machu Picchu, but have never been there! Ssshh, don’t tell anyone. I did do mountains of research though, and they are on my travel wish list.
I am a serious sea glass collector. I have many jars full of these surf polished treasures.
I’m still so surprised when someone says they’ve read one of my books and…. really liked it!
