Meet Sherry![]() Sherry Thomas burst onto the scene with PRIVATE ARRANGEMENTS, a Publisher Weekly Best Book of 2008. Her sophomore book, DELICIOUS, is a Library Journal Best Romance of 2008. Lisa Kleypas calls her "the most powerfully original historical romance author working today." In addition to enthusiastic endorsements from trade publications and New York Times bestselling authors, her books have also received stellar reviews from many of the most highly trafficked romance review websites and blogs. Her story is all the more interesting given that English is Sherry's second language—she has come a long way from the days when she made her laborious way through Rosemary Roger's SWEET SAVAGE LOVE with an English-Chinese dictionary. She enjoys digging down to the emotional core of stories. And when she is not writing, she thinks about the zen and zaniness of her profession, plays computer games with her sons, and reads as many fabulous books as she can find. Sherry is available to speak to writers groups on the intimate particulars of craft as well as the ins and outs of publishing.

When Sherry is further along in the writing process she will make a page for it and post excerpt. For now, she is still grappling with certain elements of the story. Suffice to say, it was inspired by Meredith Duran's upcoming book WRITTEN ON YOUR SKIN. Go read an excerpt. She is going to be one of the greats in our genre. When is Sherry's next book coming out? Sometime in 2010. She'll post the release date as soon as it has been slotted. Who is Sherry's editor? The incomparable and saintly Caitlin Alexander of Bantam Books. Who is Sherry's agent? The brilliant Kristin Nelson of Nelson Literary Agency. If you are a writer, you should read her blog. Who designs and maintains this beautiful website? This website is designed and coded by Frauke Spanuth of Croco Designs. Sherry does the upkeep herself. Mistakes and broken links should be brought to her attention. And here are some interviews in which Sherry was asked real questions. :-)
