Chatting With Sherri welcomes new author; Verna Cyril!

Chatting With Sherri welcomes new author; Verna Cyril!
Verna Cyril was born on the beautiful island of Saint Lucia, in the Caribbean. From an early age, Verna was fascinated by the written word and she devoured anything in print that she could lay her hands on. As she progressed, her knowledge of the world and the intricacies of human behavior increased and fired her imagination to express herself in the fantasy of conjuring stories that were graphic and spellbinding much to the delight of family members and a growing circle of friends and admirers.
"Heart of a Slave," is set in the year 1814. It’s about the heroine, a young woman name Siwhetta who was taken into captivity from her homeland, Africa.  Siwhetta was sold into slavery and subsequently arrived in the West Indies via the Atlantic slave trade. The first chapter gives a vivid description of her voyage through the Atlantic. Upon Siwhetta’s arrival, she is sold to a very wealthy plantation owner named Lady Noelita. Siwhetta who was the daughter of a tribal chieftain and warrior is headstrong, independent and a fighter.
 Dimitri on the other hand has an eye for beautiful women and so he finds Siwhetta intriguing.  The connection between the two soon spirals into a passionate and steamy love affair. The plot weaves through exciting conflicts as this forbidden love story unfolds.

Chatting With Sherri welcomes film editor Jason Summers!

Chatting With Sherri welcomes film editor Jason Summers who worked the fascinating documentary about Natalie Wood! 
Jason Summers is a documentary editor who's latest film Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind was an official selection at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and is now streaming on HBO.  Born in San Francisco, Jason grew up close to the film industry as his father Gary Summers worked for George Lucas' Skywalker Sound as a Re-recording Mixer on films such as Return of the Jedi, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, and Titanic.
After graduating from film school at San Francisco State University, Jason moved to Los Angeles in 2001 and worked in various post-production jobs before teaming up as an editor with behind-the-scenes documentary filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau.  Their partnership has spanned over 15 years leading to their collaboration on Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind.  This film is a story of a Hollywood Legend but also a personal story about a family, a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a boss fighting for equality way ahead of her time. It’s also the story of tragedy and overcoming loss under the intense media spotlight and tabloid speculation told by her daughters as well as her closest friends and collaborators.  The film also features never before seen home movies and photographs of Natalie Wood from the families archive.  
 

Chatting with Sherri welcomes authors Peter J. Wacks and Eytan Kollin!

 
Chatting with Sherri welcomes authors Peter J. Wacks and Eytan Kollin!
Peter J. Wacks, born as Jebediah Jason Zarathustra Janney Shults, was quickly reminted to a sane name yet never really recovered a sense of normalcy in his life.  Peter (or Zarth, whatever, it's cool) has traveled to 37 countries, hitchhiked across the United States (very funny, no, he didn't hitchhike to Hawaii), and backpacked across Europe. 
Eytan Kollin lives in Pasadena, California. With Dani Kollin, he is author of books including The Unincorporated Man, The Unincorporated War, and The Unincorporated Woman.
Caller of Lightning (Arcane America #3) When Halley’s Comet blazed across the sky in 1759, onlookers saw a sight far more spectacular—and disastrous—than they ever could have imagined. Destroyed in a magical battle, the comet is rent in two and appears to strike Earth. The event is known as The Sundering, the moment in which the Old World is separated from the New, perhaps permanently isolating the Americas.  The New World is now far stranger than before, and the Europeans, Africans, and Indigenous peoples on the American continent must forge new bonds if they are to survive.
So, when magic returns to the world of the 1700s, who does the world turn to for help? None other than the father of electricity himself: Benjamin Franklin! But Franklin is in for a shock if he thinks his knowledge of science will prepare him for the world of magic.
