 Chatting With Sherri welcomes award-winning writer Elaine Midcoh!
Elaine Midcoh, will travel to Hollywood as a Published Finalist in the Writers of the Future Contest, now in its 38th year. Her story, "The Battle of Donasi," will be published in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 37.
Elaine lives in Pembroke Pines, Florida. At age 8, she wrote to NASA asking to be an astronaut, but was rejected. Undeterred, she penned her first book which featured a young girl as NASA’s first child astronaut. Yes, the kid’s name was Elaine. To seal the deal she bought herself a Jr. Astronaut medal which she still wears on special occasions. Later, when adulthood loomed, she diverted to law school, became an attorney and spent many happy years teaching college students about Criminal Justice and the Bill of Rights, while still writing an occasional tale.
 

Chatting With Sherri welcomes award-winning Illustrator Jennifer Bruce!

Chatting With Sherri  welcomes award-winning Illustrator Jennifer Bruce!
Jennifer Bruce was born in 1991 near Detroit, Michigan. As a child she had an avid interest in drawing but didn’t have access to art classes until high school, so she was largely self-taught. After high school, forced to choose a career in college, she struggled to settle into a major that felt fulfilling, but avoided an art major because it felt daunting and impossible.
She eventually regained her confidence and attended the College for Creative Studies in downtown Detroit, graduating with honors and a bachelor’s in illustration (and a minor in concept art). She is now pursuing a career as a freelance artist, with a focus on young adult and children’s literature book covers.
Her style of illustration mixes her foundation of traditional media with the ease and flexibility of digital media. Her digital paintings combine semi-realistic figures with graphic elements, texture, and patterns, infused with dramatic emotion and narrative. She draws inspiration from nature, beloved works of fiction, and her favorite cinematic and electronic/indie-pop music. 
Jennifer's art has earned her a cash prize and a trip to Hollywood as well as having her art published in the annual bestseller, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 37.

Shadowed Past; Have you ever felt isolated and alone? Are you a people pleaser, responsible for other people and how they feel? Have you ever judged yourself harshly? Do you identify yourself as a victim? This is exactly what will happen if your dysfunctional past shapes your future. Do not allow your past to haunt your present. The emotional scars you carry into your adult life can inhibit your ability to move forward. When in this state of mind life seems so unfair, the hurt seems so real, the sadness clouds any potential for clarity and insight. A negative view of life seems the norm as you assume the role of the victim. It can be impossible to recognize any strength within you. Every time you recall your past, you give it life again.
