Hi! My name is Sherri Gibson, and I am the published author of five novels, several books of poetry, and several songs, although songwriting is my least favorite of the three. I'm a pacifist and a naturalist, and revere the Native Americans for their ways and beliefs. I enjoy traveling, reading, music of almost every genre, making new friends, but most of all writing. I'm an optimist whose three mottos have, and always will be, to follow your heart, reach for the stars, and capture your dreams wherever they may lead. My heart is open to anyone who wants entrance, and I always try to be as honest as I can be, and expect nothing less in return. I don't toy with others' feelings, for I don't want mine toyed with either, for I bleed just like anyone else does when hurt.
An Indiana girl, my dreams are simple. I wish for an end to warring and peace for all mankind. I revere everything God has put upon our beautiful Earth, and wish everyone felt similarly. I judge others as I expect to be judged ...honestly and for their worthiness. I am, and always will be, a follower of my heart and open-minded.
These things but make a part of all that I am. I am blessed in numerous other ways, and for that I am thankful. One of the greatest blessings in my life has to be my grandchildren. I thank God every day for them.
I am delighted to now have my own shop where my published work is available. There are currently eight titles available covering such genres as Western, Romance, Drama, Horror and even a collection of my poetry. The shop offers discounted prices and multi purchase deals. Feel free to browse and read excerpts from the available titles just by clicking on an image of the book.

A Prayer To The Spirits
Spirits hear me, answer my prayer
I don't ask for much, just unity shared
Grant me wisdom and make my heart soar again
Hear the prayer of this Indian
Let me soar like an eagle high above the clouds,
Where hatred and prejudice aren't allowed
Bless me with friends that will always be there
I beseech you, Great Spirit, hear my prayer
Torn and confused am I while trudging along,
Searching for answers of what went wrong
Spirits hear me now and let me feel faith again,
Are the earnest pleas of this Indian
An Indian's prayer is repeated again,
As he yearns for complete freedom and what might have been,
If his nation had not been weakened by the demands of others,
And where peace was attained, and everyone lived as brothers...
This is an Indian's prayer.
- Sherri Gibson

An Angel Before She Knew It
I'll never forget the day my mother was rushed to the hospital by ambulance, the day my world would crumble. Having been diagnosed with bronchitis only weeks before then, and never missing a routine physical, we assumed her condition had worsened.
The symptoms she had were continuous coughing spasms, which worsened with every passing day. I had phoned my parents' house that morning, my woman's intuition screaming something wasn't right, that mom needed me. When dad picked up the phone to tell me mom was sitting on the bathroom floor and vomiting, I immediately suggested calling an ambulance. Mom was rushed to the hospital that dreadful Friday.
As we sat anxiously in the waiting room for what seemed to be an eternity, a physician finally approached my Father. Dad headed towards me several minutes afterwards. The look on his face warned me something was terribly wrong, that things were worse than we had imagined.
"Sherri," he began, tears coming to his eyes and his voice breaking. "We need to talk, honey."
"What is it, Dad?" I could barely manage to issue the words, somehow knowing that day was to be the worst of my life. When no response immediately came, I repeated, "Dad, what is it? What did the doctor say?"
It was then the bad news came. The doctors had discovered cancerous fluids around my precious mother's heart, and she was to be admitted. No, my mind screamed, my mother having been not only my parent, but also the best friend I had in the entire world. The last thing I remembered were the black spots passing before my eyes before I fainted into my father's arms and a sharp pain in my chest. - To read more go Here
