Sherrie's New Novel - Merry Go Round - will be released on May 22!  Please come and help us celebrate!

“Sherrie Hansen creates sprawling farm and comfortable home, American countryside... wobbling bicycles, squabbling siblings, lovers' arguments. Her scenery and her characters are all equally real. Sherrie Hansen's created a thinking woman's romance, as full of depth and feeling and love as any other, but seasoned with history... real relationships, common sense and hope; a wonderful novel, highly recommended.”
- From a review by Sheila Deeth on "Night and Day"
