Love This Time of Year!

I love Autumn. It's such a pretty time of year, and the temps are perfect. I love the mid to upper 70's, and no humidity. Plus, I love the colors of the season and the beauty of pumpkins ripe on the vine. I also love Halloween. It's always been one of my favorite holidays. I think the vibrant array of colors has something to do with it (I love to decorate!), but I admit, the "things that go bump in the night" side of Halloween gives a hint of mystery and fun too. I'd love to have a conversation with a friendly ghost who lived during the time of the Civil War, the Wild West, or Medieval times. How cool! So, to celebrate, I'll be posting some fun Halloween stuff here starting next week, plus more stuff over at the group blog I belong to. Join me here and at www.authorsbymoonlight for some spooktacular fun in the days ahead!

Busy Summer

Wow! It's been a busy summer. That's my excuse for being absent for so long from my blog, and I'm sticking to it! My apologies. But the summer of 2010 is winding down and that means some exciting news for me. Both of my kids will now be in school! Yes, my youngest will be in kindergarten. It's true, the mommy side of me is a a tickle bit sad, but the writer side of me is excited and can't wait to see what I can accomplish. In one more week I'll be home alone all day to take care of the business of writing and keeping up with my career. Yippee!

So, keep watching Sherry James. I hope you'll see some exciting things happening in my career, and some changes coming to my blog and web site!

Authors By Moonlight

Howdy, all!

I'm thrilled to share with you a new blog venture---Authors By Moonlight. I've joined forces with five other authors, Laura Landon, Ann Stephens, Tiffany Green, Fleeta Cunningham, and Francesca Hawley, to create a new blog Where Romance Glows!

We all write romance, but you'll find not only historical and contemporaries, but retro, and sweet to smokin' hot! We're officially launching the site this week, May 10 -15th. Be sure and stop by to meet all of us. Each day one of the ABM authors will be featured. You'll also have a chance to read excerpts. AND, we're giving away prizes each day. You can get entered by simply leaving a comment to our posts.

This new blog is awesome, and one of the main reasons I've been absent from this one for a while. It took many emails, ideas, and coordinating to get ABM up and running. I feel it was worth the effort. I hope you will, too.

So, please stop by and leave a comment. And be sure to bookmark ABM. We have some great guest bloggers lined up for the year. I hope to blog with you by Moonlight!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

May the Luck of the Irish be with you today! I'm not Irish, but I do love this holiday. Not only is it an excuse to just have some fun ;-), yes, it's true, I've been known to drink a green beer or two, but the day is also a sure sign that Spring is just around the corner. And after the long winter we've had, I'm really ready for Spring. I also happen to love Shamrocks. I think they are so cute, and so green!

Again, I have to apologize for being absent from my blog. Shame on me. But, I have been busy working on a the sequel to Cowboy Fling. Yep, that's right. Country Fling is close to being done and I hope to have some news to share regarding that book soon. I've also been very busy doing a lot of web site work, and have joined forces with five other authors to bring you a new site with all kinds of exciting things. I'll tell you more about Authors By Moonlight very soon.

In the meantime, here is a little Irish verse for you to enjoy today!

May good luck be with you
Wherever you go,
And your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow.

So, how about you? Do you like having a little fun on St. Patrick's Day? If so, what do you like to do? Drink that green beer I mentioned? Eat corned beef? Kiss the Blarney Stone?

Have a Happy & Safe one!
