I am very excited.... every so often I meet someone exquisite and special. Now I have the joy to introduce you (if you don't know her yet!) to an extremely talented and special author, Sheri Fink. She's written a successful series of brilliant children's books that are award-winning and each book zooms to best seller status. You'll see why below. Join me for this fantastic exploration of who Sheri is and why her books have become such a phenomenon. Check out her books:

Dare to Dream: Interview with Inspiring Children’s Author Sheri
Fink
Sheri
Fink is a best-selling, award-winning children’s author who’s passionate about
childhood literacy and self-esteem. Her first book, The Little Rose, has been a
#1 best-seller on Amazon for over 55 weeks, became the #1 Top-Rated Children’s eBook on
Amazon, and recently won a gold medal in the Readers Favorite International
Book Awards. Her second inspirational children’s book, The Little Gnome, was
published in March 2012 and debuted at #1 on the Amazon best-seller list.
Sheri’s
next book, Exploring the Garden with the Little Rose, debuts on October 2. It’s designed for children
ages 2-5 to help them learn the alphabet and garden vocabulary. It features
many of the characters from The Little Rose, The Little Gnome, and even upcoming
books.
What do you write?
I
love writing books that inspire and delight children while planting seeds of
self-esteem that can have lifelong benefit. I am so happy and grateful to be
living my dream!
What has been your favorite
part of your author journey so far?
For
me, some of the best parts of being an author are hearing that your book has an
impact in the lives of children and empowering others to achieve their dreams.
I love receiving fan mail and hearing stories from the children and adults who
have fallen in love with The Little Rose and The Little Gnome.
As a
writer, the moment you open the first case of your books and see your creation
in print format is truly magical. Even after having it happen three times for
me, it’s still a precious and joyfully emotional moment.
Another
aspect that I really enjoy is being able to put my pets into my books.
Exploring the Garden with the Little Rose has a kitten in it that looks just
like an illustrated version of my kitty, Poohbear. It’s something I never
thought about before, but it’s really fun to see your pet in a book. My second
kitty, Samantha, will be making a cameo appearance in my next book, The Little
Firefly.
I’m
so grateful to my readers and I’m honored to make a positive difference in the
lives of children worldwide.
Which author most inspires
you?
I’m
very inspired by J.K. Rowling. Before I read the first Harry Potter book, it
had been a long time since I stayed up all night reading a book because I just
had to know what happened. I love that her books and her characters are so full
of heart. Reading her series and hearing her inspiring personal story really moved
me and enabled me to see new possibilities for my writing.
What’s your favorite quote?
I
have a few favorites:
"The
person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing
it." ~ Chinese Proverb
"Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down." ~ Ray Bradbury
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~ Dr. Seuss

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~ Dr. Seuss
What’s next for you?
My
next book is Exploring the Garden with The Little Rose to be released on
October 2, 2012. My next book in The Little Series, The Little Firefly, will be
published in March 2013. I’ve been doing a lot of speaking at schools,
libraries, writers’ conferences, and book festivals and look forward to
continuing. I’m also excited to be in the early stages of inventing a board
game based on the characters in The Whimsical World of Sheri Fink.
