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 picture book, You Think It's Easy Being the Tooth Fairy?, illustrated by the fabulous David Slonim, is about a feisty, big-personality 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 15,000 copies+ to date and will soon be published in French and Hebrew.

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 peddling her first middle-grade novel, about a kid who'd rather live anywhere but the junk lot he calls home.
