About Sherry Gammon

Hello and welcome to WordpaintingsUnlimited.com. Look around at my published novels and have a sneak peak at novels in the making! I'd love to hear from you, please feel free to leave a comment if you'd like, but be kind. Rude nasties will be deleted!
 I began writing in the sixth grade, simple little Roses are red, Violets are blue type poems inspired by Highlights Magazine. Remember those from your childthood?





In seventh grade we studied poems and my love for writing bloomed. We were required to make a book of poems, some of which could be our own work. A few of my classmates saw my poems and asked me to write poems for their books. I not only enjoyed doing it, I discovered writing helped to clear my head.




Fast forward to college. I was thumbing though a roommate's high school yearbook and found a full page photo of a boy. I also noted that the yearbook had been dedicated to him. When I asked her what had happened, she told me that he'd committed suicide earlier that year. Needless to say, the story haunted me. I took a writing class in college the next semester and for one of my assignments I decided to write this boy's story. I had to create a story around what little I knew of him. Not only did my teacher love the story, writing it helped me come to terms with this random stranger's death. It also fed the fire in me to write, and I've been writing ever since.


 I hope you'll find enjoyment in my work. I appreciate you stopping by! Sherry
