Sheri Bell-Rehwoldt, a military brat,
graduated from the University of Texas (Hook 'em, Horns!!) and has the framed diploma to prove it, though she can't quite remember where she put it.
Ah, UT: Beautiful buildings, beautiful people, beautiful cars. But, with 50,000 students, it's an easy place in which to lose your soul. Sheri's fondest memories?
The stench of pigeon poop, (oh so pungent after an Austin rain), a firm bum courtesy of the long haul between classrooms, and the time she wore a "Jesus Saves" T-Shirt to class and droves of students parted before her like the Red Sea.
Sheri used to have a "real" job, but these days she's an award-winning author, editor and magazine writer. She writes books for adults and kids. Her latest, You Think It's Easy Being the Tooth Fairy?, a picture book illustrated by the fabulous David Slonim, is about a feisty James Bondish tooth fairy.
Tooth has won two first-place writing awards: First Place - Children's Fiction, Delaware Press Association 2008 Communications Contest and First Place - Children's Fiction, National Federation of Press Women 2008 Communications Contest.
Tooth was published by Chronicle Books in August 2007. It has sold 12,000 copies+ to date and will soon be published in French.
Sheri wrote the book after the Tooth Fairy made a late night appearance, during which she demanded that Sheri set the record straight. "I'm a technology chick," Sheri swears the Tooth Fairy declared. "The whole fairy dust thing is soooo old school."
Sheri is currently revising her first middle-grade novel, about a kid who'd rather live anywhere but the junk lot he calls home. To read a bit of the novel, click here.
