Chatting With Sherri welcomes animal lover and author; Chuck Hawley!

Chatting With Sherri welcomes animal lover and author; Chuck Hawley!
Chuck Hawley is an award winning American Author of "children's books, that adults should read too." Chuck had written stories his whole life, but his writing career was set into motion one morning by finding a kitten that had been cruelly covered in glue and stuck to a road in Salem Oregon. 
After the story of finding Sticky, (what the Kitten would end up being named...) went viral, he was suddenly given the platform to take his stories to a large audience. His first book about Sticky quickly won a 'Best Children's Book of 2018' award. Two more books quickly came along and the series can now be found in Libraries, Schools and homes in 16 countries around the world and that list of countries grows daily. Chuck says the goal in his writing is to "gently teach empathy, compassion, and to try and make the world a better place by opening the mind of the readers to a different point of view, that they maybe hadn't thought of". Chucks books teach many things, but when asked how he describes his books, he says "I write everybody books that hopefully make smiles".

After leaving DuPont, she coached entrepreneurs and corporate execs in addition to creating and guiding leadership seminars for women. Finally, she returned to her dream of living a creative life by writing.
 
Deborah Gaal, the award-winning author of The Dream Stitcher, returns with Synchronicities on the Avenue of the Saints, a novel that delves into the subjects of love and acceptance and the importance of connection.
 
Deborah employs magic realism to explore themes of ancestry, connectivity, and universality. Here, the ancestors take the form of two Russian ghosts, one vengeful and one supportive. Both are relatives of the bipolar Noah Friedman. Noah has spent years on a drug that has either made him a genius or considerably shortened his life span—or both. Now he must face off against a malevolent corporate type determined to market the drug internationally. Fortunately, he has a coterie of eccentric figures, both living and dead, to assist him
