Sherry has a degree in Legal Assisting, and served as a medical technician in the Air Force. She and her husband worked in foster care for a number of years, from which they adopted their youngest son. She has worked in the education system for a number of years, and is currently lucky enough to be teaching teenage girls, ages 12-18. She has lived in Michigan, California, Utah, Texas, Pennsylvania, and the beautiful, but over-taxed state of New York where she has spent the last eleven years, and now considers home. It is where she spends her nights writing instead of sleeping :}

Snippet:
Next Max picked up the notebook
dated last September. This one was
different, this one was a journal. He briefly thumbed through it. It chronicled
times he’d hidden in the dumpster, or walked to school to avoid being abused on
the bus. In some of the margins, he’d drawn hearts and added Emma’s name. JD
had a serious crush on her, from the looks of it. Max flipped to the last page
dated the day of the accident.
“Got whipped with the
extension cord by Tim when I got home. I
still can’t find his pen. He told me I’d better find it after dinner or I’d be
getting another beating. But I can’t find it anywhere. Maybe mom will come home
early and he won’t be able to hit me again today. Tomorrow I’m going
to empty my locker out. It has to be in there.
“Talked to Emma in journalism
class. She’s working on a big story about
the rats in the cafeteria. I wanted to tell her I’d help her finish it, but I
couldn’t get the words out. I’m such a loser.
“Max Sánchez talked to me today
too, outside my locker while I was looking
for the pen. Max Sánchez! I couldn’t believe it. At first I thought he wanted
to call me more names, maybe even hit me, but he apologized for calling me and
Izzy The Ten.
Max Sánchez apologized
to me, Lumpy Larry, the school loser. He even asked me if I wanted
to work out with him. But I can’t. He goes to that fancy gym in town. There’s
no way my mom could afford that place.
“Maybe tomorrow I’ll see if I can eat lunch with him and his
friends. If everyone thinks Max Sánchez is my friend, maybe then they’d stop
hurting me all the time.
“Who am I kidding? He was
probably just being nice. Max would never be
caught dead eating with Lumpy Larry. At least he talked to me. That’s
something. Max Sánchez talked to me.
“Got to go. Tim’s calling me and
he sounds mad.”
Max shut the book to keep his tears
from spoiling the pages. “JD, I’m so
sorry. I’m so very sorry.” Max buried his selfish face in his hands and wept as
his heart shattered.
