Ever since I first put pencil to paper in the third grade, I wanted to write books for children. Little did I know it would effectively take thirty years, hard work--and 156 rejection letters!--to realize a dream. Along the road to publication, I've been privileged to meet and to learn from other authors and editors, and to call many of them friends. Each one--together with the readers who write to me about my books--has touched my life with magic. It is a joy to be able to pass it on! Who do I write for? The girl in me, who is still alive and well, thank you. And I write, too, for the boy in each of my three sons--now grown and living away from home-- and for their three sons as well. Their pranks and confidences have given me a rare window into boys' hearts and minds; for that I am grateful. It's a special kind of magic, creating something from nothing. Through the pages of my books, I hope you will find that you, too, possess that kind of magic.
I have an unusual name. You can hear how to pronounce it by clicking here, typing "Sheri Sinykin" into the Search Engine, and choosing "Author Pronunciation Guide."
