Growing up as an only child on a small south central Wisconsin farm, Sherry Derr-Wille’s playmates were mainly her imaginary friends. Years later those friends and the games she created around them became the characters for her many books.

Beginning her writing career while still in high school, she wrote mainly for her own pleasure until signing her first contract in July of 2002. Since then she has signed twenty-nine contracts and has fourteen books in print.

Wife of forty years, mother of three grown children, grandmother of seven, and mild-mannered receptionist by day, she is first and foremost a writer. From her home in south central Wisconsin, she writes and writes and writes. Since her career finally took off, she deems her husband, Bob, a saint for putting up with her eccentricities.
