The Threads of Our Tapestries

Education, History, Inspiration, news, Writing ProcessBy SherrillMarch 18, 2021Leave a comment

Dear Readers, Warning! Some might find this blog depressing. (But I hope you’ll read on, anyway!) A friend recently shared with me his monthly human-interest column for his local newspaper back East. In it, he discussed the “threads” in the “tapestry” of his life, his late sister’s, and their late mother’s. As I read on,…

Dear Kids, Teachers, Librarians, Families, All Readers, and Audiophiles, I am pleased to report that the audiobook for Eucalyptus Street: Green Curse is in final production.

New Home for Old Tomes

Dear Kids and Other Readers, After years of dreaming, my new, custom-made bookcase was installed yesterday! It had to be brought into my house in two pieces, each carefully lifted through a different front porch archway, then slowly through the front door. It was close, but in the pieces came at last without a scratch.…

Dear Kids and All Readers, I’ve been off with my Botanic Hill Detectives on their fourth case this past month. That is to say, I’ve now written over twenty-five percent of the Book 4, Saffron Street: Island Danger first draft. Yay!

Not “Happily Ever After”

Dear Readers, February is the month when we celebrate Valentine’s Day and true love. We, of course, know that in real life as well as in literature, some of the most intriguing romances have a dark side, maybe even a tragic ending. This type of literature is called Dark Romanticism. Dark Romanticism falls within Gothic…

From the Depths of My Heart

Dear Kids and All Readers, Friday, February 5, 2021, was National Wear Red for Heart Health Awareness Day. Coincidentally, one of my family members had major heart surgery that very day. (All is well! Problems repaired.) And here comes Valentine’s Day when we celebrate all that is heartfelt. These events have made me reflect on…

Dear Readers, As I write this blog, many of you are probably sinking in snowdrifts and sorry the groundhog has announced six more weeks of winter. How about an escape? –at least as an armchair traveler, for now! But first, I feel compelled to introduce to you the Italian word bramasole. It means “yearning for…

Hello, Kids and All Readers, While listening to President Biden’s Inaugural Address on January 20, I was inspired to see what other presidents had said on their Inauguration days. I purchased Collected Presidential Inaugural Addresses 1789-2017, by Eupator Classics Law and Liberty Library, 2020. It covers Presidents Washington through Trump. (I have added a copy…

Dear Kids and All Readers, During the January 20th Inauguration ceremony, I, along with others worldwide, were captivated by a twenty-two-year-old woman named Amanda Gorman when she gave a dramatic recitation of her poem, “The Hill We Climb.” It contains themes of grief, pain, labor, hope, healing, transcendence, and unity. Ms. Gorman is the first-ever…
