As if that isn't nice enough, RT goes on to say, "Thomas doesn't just enhance the genre, she enriches it with her intelligent characters, brilliant dialogue, innovative plot twists and amazing love stories. Reading her novels is a rare treat—an insight into the hearts and minds of all who dream." Yes, funny that you should ask. Sherry does indeed have a big smile on her face.

June 20, 2013 » Oh boy, it has been a long time, hasn't it, since Sherry last posted any updates? Her general uncommunicativeness really shines on this website and her blog. Across all social media platforms, in fact. :-) She did put up the new cover for THE BURNING SKY, which you can see to the right. In about ten days or so, she will post an excerpt for THE LUCKIEST LADY IN LONDON. And of course, this site should get a facelift some point during the summer.

January 18, 2013 » A two-chapter excerpt from THE BURNING SKY has been posted.

August 7, 2012 » Finally got around to posting some new foreign covers, one of NQAH and three of HAN.

January 12, 2012 » With the hacker attack at the beginning of the year—not directed specifically at this site, thankfully—and the subsequent server migration, Sherry has been scrambling to recreate and reload content. (That will teach her to not have back-ups!) But finally the excerpts for BEGUILING THE BEAUTY and RAVISHING THE HEIRESS up.)

January 2, 2012 » Site hacked to start the year. But all is not lost, only must replace index pages. Too bad they have not been backed up since switched to updating pages directly in control panel. That'll teach Sherry to be so careless. What else? Site is now available in French. And put in new newsletter subscription to MadMimi.

August 16, 2011 » Darn. Had to remove all the newsletter subscription links as newsletter hosting service closed its doors.

January 19, 2011 » Willkommen auf der deutschen Homepage von Sherry Thomas.

January 19, 2011 » Covers for Thai HIS AT NIGHT and German DELICIOUS uploaded. Done with German page for CORA, except not quite sure how to link it to front page.

May 11, 2010 » Good Lord, the release date of HAN is breathing down Sherry's neck. She hurriedly updated HIS AT NIGHT page so there is something under every category—not much, but something. Also put up appearance list on homepage.

March 20, 2010 » Aha, not much is happening. So Sherry updated her travel schedule for the year. :-)

February 4, 2010 » A full excerpt for HIS AT NIGHT has been posted.

January 31, 2010 » Sherry has uploaded her February newsletter, featuring the lovely and talented Kristan Higgins. The Japanese DELICIOUS cover is also up, along with a link. It's always fun for Sherry to hunt down those links. :-) The Japanese title for DELICIOUS is A TEMPTING DINNER, by the way, quite fitting.

January 6, 2010 » In case you are thinking of reading NOT QUITE A HUSBAND for your romance book club, Sherry has posted a list of discussion questions she compiled for a book club which did just that last October.

October 23, 2009 » The cover pics for HIS AT NIGHT have been updated to reflect the final cover. And now the German PA cover is up too.

October 1, 2009 » Added purchase links to Chapters and Book Depository. And PA link finally up at J'ai Lu so added it.

September 28, 2009 » Lots of updating, just because the preliminary cover for HIS AT NIGHT has come in. It is available at Amazon and Random House for preorder, still waiting for links to show up at B&N, Borders, and IndieBound.

September 15, 2009 » Finally updated the site page. While lying in bed one night, Sherry suddenly realized that the site page still had the story of her mighty struggle with html and css to get the prior version of the website going. Well, that would never do as she never lifted a finger for the current version—readers might get the mistaken impression that she knew something about php! The credit for the design and implementation of the current website goes completely to Frauke Spanuth of CrocoDesigns. Sherry only does updating and maintenance, for which her meager html knowledge suffices. :-)

September 10, 2009 » French PA covered added. Again mattering to no one but herself, but Sherry is quite happy to have tracked down a publisher's link for Japanese PA. Now the frame around the Japanese PA cover can disappear nicely while the mouse hovers around it. :-)

August 25, 2009 » It's an excerpt bonanza! Check out the newly created page for HIS AT NIGHT. And then, check out the excerpt from Sherry's not-yet-shopped contemporary romance. Have fun. :-)

August 3, 2009 » Three more reviews for NOT QUITE A HUSBAND and a bit of trivia have been added. Sherry has also updated the FAQ page.

May 5, 2009 » Sherry revamps her blog and is thrilled that the awesome Meredith Duran has come on board as a blogging partner.

May 3, 2009 » Frauke Spanuth of CrocoDesigns has given Sherry's website a new look and some 21st century code. Thank you, Frauke!

February 11, 2009 » The DELICIOUS page has been updated with more than anyone ever wanted to know about the book. :-) Sherry hopes to do the same for NOT QUITE A HUSBAND and PRIVATE ARRANGEMENTS in the near future.

January 28, 2009 » New snippet from NOT QUITE A HUSBAND on the homepage. Old snippet archived here.

January 19, 2009 » Sherry struggled with a two-column homepage layout when she was learning HTML and CSS. So it took a long time for her to bite the bullet and tinker with the code again. But she did and now she's pretty happy about the more informative and hopefully more interesting homepage. And the process wasn't even quite as horrible as she'd imagined it would be. Nothing to fear but fear itself.:-)

January 3, 2009 » The first giveaway of the new year is in place. Of course no one cares about this but Sherry, but she has put in some spambot protection vis-a-vis the contest entry form, and she is totally thrilled that she figured out how to do it as she is generally and overwhelmingly clueless about such things. :-)

December 1, 2008 » DELICIOUS reviews from Blue Moon added. New covers for the reissue of PA and D are now in various places on the website. And Sherry has moved the directory of her guest blog posts to the Meet Sherry page.

November 12, 2008 » DELICIOUS reviews from Chicago Tribune and The Romance Roundtable added. And Sherry has updated her bio to make it look more impressive than it really is. :-)

August 28, 2008 » The site is a-hum with updates today. One DELICIOUS review from Night Owl Romance has been added, along with the link to the LJ review at last. There is now one question and one answer in the FAQ. And most importantly now there is a page for NOT QUITE A HUSBAND, Sherry's summer 2009 release. (The cover is a just-for-fun mock-up, please don't use it anywhere or Sherry will die of embarrassment!)

August 13, 2008 » DELICIOUS reviews from Smart Bitches, TGTBTU, and Coffee Time Romance added. And now the Romance Review Today review has a link.

February 17, 2008 » Link to Library Journal's review of PRIVATE ARRANGEMENTS has been added, but be prepared to scroll down if you link through. Sherry couldn't find a place for a good internal link.
