Contributor Bio(s): Sherrer, Gladys Hodge: - GLADYS HODGE SHERRER, an Alabama writer, sold her first published article at age thirteen to Grit magazine. She was educated at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Today, her passion is chronicling life in the Old South in her unique style, reminiscent of Eugenia Price. Completed after eight years of historical research in four states, Trapped in the Crossfire portrays the true life trials of Sherrer's ancestors, and personifies untold numbers of others, during the Civil War years. Sherrer, a former registered nurse and Project Director for an information technology division of a major health insurer, in 2006 became a magazine journalist, and a columnist for local newspapers, including Birmingham News and Shelby County Reporter. Her nonfiction published works include interviews with playwrights Michael Vigilant and Elyzabeth Gregory Wilder, Pulitzer Prize winning poet Natasha Trethewey, and political prisoner Gracia Burnham. She began writing fiction, and achieved notoriety from groups such as, Alabama Writers Conclave, and National League of American Pen Women, where she served as chaplain. Sherrer is a member of Alabama Writers Forum, and has self-published two young adult novels. Through a collaboration of the U.S. Peace Corps and Books for Africa Project, 186 copies of her two-volume work, The Keeper Chronicles, were distributed in African school libraries. In addition to being a writer, Sherrer is a watercolorist, previously represented by a gallery in Pell City, Alabama, and known for making her works public: at art shows in Highlands, North Carolina, and in Pell City and Birmingham, Alabama. She has served as a volunteer at the Birmingham Museum of Art. Today, Sherrer has a passion for history and literary arts, actively taking both to the people by way of her latest book, Trapped in the Crossfire, her speaking engagements, Facebook pages, and a blog: JourneytoPublishing.blogspot.com. |
