| Chat with Sherrill Bodine |
Sherrill Bodine is sure growing up in her grandmother's house, taking care of her developmentally disabled mother, forged who she is, but she doesn't believe any one thing  defines her. Her philosophy of life is that we are all in this together-and we need to embrace one another with as much grace, humor and compassion as we can muster. She sees life as big, bigger, biggest, and she wants to take everyone along with her on the journey.
She not only attends black-tie affairs and works on charity board projects, but she is also just as likely to be taking a grandchild to lunch and a movie. She's happily married to John, with whom she eloped when she was an 18-year-old freshman in college. It was quite the scandal. They have four beautiful children and 11 grandchildren.
She won her first writing award in the seventh grade in a statewide essay contest about a television broadcast of Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates. Instead of silver skates, they sent real skates, which she enjoyed immensely. She's only sorry she doesn't still have them so they could hang in her office.
While moving 22 times across the country and rearing her children, she sold stories to Fate Magazine, Home Life Magazine and True Confessions. In 1988, she sold her first novel and a week later received a two-book contract from Fawcett. Sixteen novels later, she's seen The Other Amanda win the Wisconsin Romance Writers of America Write Touch Readers' Award and Talk of the Town chosen by Cosmopolitan magazine as its "Red Hot Read" for February 2009.
