Mari Carr » Spotlight 5 – Sherry Ricardo winner

The winner of this week’s spotlight contest is Bella. Sherry will be getting in touch with you! Congrats!

Sherry is a unique member of our International Heat group. She’s our resident nomad–this woman lives everywhere, constantly moving due to her day job (Barbados, Germany, Nova Scotia). She’s a top-notch editor AND she is an incredibly giving friend.

Little known facts about Sherry:

Sherry was one of the first people to contact me after the release of Erotic Research and comment on my work. We struck up an immediate friendship because she’s so open, so intelligent. I trust her opinion.

Sherry has read every single one of my books (except ER) just prior to me submitting them. In fact, I won’t submit a book she hasn’t read first because she’s a great editor and beta reader. She tells me what to fix grammatically and how to tweak the story in terms of the plot/characters.

Sherry gave me perhaps one of the nicest compliments about my writing ever. Makes me smile every time I think of it. She said, “You could wring emotion from a rock.”

Sherry is a doctor in real life–I’ll let you guess which kind! LOL

One of my character’s was named after Sherry (her real name).
