Sheri is a single mom of two awesome boys, ages nine and 12, and caretaker of one large dog and approximately 20 tarantulas. Nestled in the Porcupine Hills of southern Alberta, Canada, Sheri lives about 20 minutes from Pincher Creek, and an hour from the U.S. border. A full-time writer specializing in agriculture, she also freelances for magazines and newspapers, and is currently working on her first fiction book. Living in the prairies with the stoic Rocky Mountains standing in the distance serves as inspiration not just for her writing endeavors, but for a new, healthy and fit lifestyle. In her spare time, Sheri serves as a volunteer firefighter, and had recently taken up hunting, but her biggest passion is finding and photographing rattlesnakes in the wild.
