In reply to peggy. Hi Peggy-thanks for your comment. I've actually found my brain feeling locked up if I sit too long in front of the screen. Then the minute I get in the car or the shower, off it goes...as if it were saying finally you stopped thinking...

In reply to LisaG. Hi Lisa-When I read that Sheri was creating a character who imagines others as fetuses, I thought there is still so much out there that has yet to be imagined. It's wonderful, isn't it?

I loved this! Thanks, Cindy–and thanks to Sheri Reynolds for sharing. I can especially picture the hammock with the cat and dog (they can be such good muses) beneath. And what good writing advice–it seems that sitting and staring for hours at a blank screen is rarely more helpful than just letting the mind and body give in to something else.

In reply to Linda. Linda- It makes me feel so good when I discover someone else loves the same books I do. And I agree. Sheri's characters are wonderful. I wanted The Sweet In-Between to go on and on...

Love this interview – trying to picture my cat as a fetus right now!

Thank you for the glimpse into your days. I really enjoyed reading The Rapture of Canaan and I plan on picking up more of Sheri’s books.

Thank you for this interview with Sheri. She’s one of my favorite authors. She has such a talent for drawing you deeply into her characters … and she creates excellent characters. I read The Sweet In-Between in April and I’ve never cried for and wanted to fight for any fictional character like I did for Kenny. I can’t wait for Sheri’s next novel.

Oh, and I, too, have always read magazines back to front, so it’s nice to know I’m not the only one with this quirk.
