She enjoys the use of herbs and crystals and finds pleasure in the company of her beloved pet, Royal. She is also finally making moves to attract a long-time friend.
Quite satisfied with her mundane life, affairs become unsettling when a new recurring vision of an ominous tattoo as well as increased activity from the ghostly presence within her own cottage invade her once-harmonious existence. An even darker turn awaits as the body of an old friend is found in the nearby river. With other young women falling prey to a serial killer, she realizes the terror is coming for her.
Raised in southeast Texas, Sherri grew up walking barefoot and catching crawdads in creek beds. A true lover of the outdoors, her childhood also ran rampant with talk of ghosts, demons and back country folklore. This inspired her first short story about a poisonous flower that shot toxins onto children as they smelled it. Her classmate bought it for all the change in his pocket. Not long after, her mother and she headed to California. She has ping-ponged throughout the area ever since, with the Santa Cruz Mountains treasured as one of her favorites places to live.
