S.C. Sherman, Author
Books...Books...Books!
I had no idea I would ever write a novel as I sat in Grinnell Middle School voraciously devouring Louis L'Amour westerns as fast as I could read them. I was hooked! A young boy lost in the fantasy of the day. I desperately wished I could be a cowboy...especially a Sackett! In each story I clung to the strength of each new main character who felt a little out of place, but came through in the moment of truth and of course, got the girl!
My love of great stories only grew over the years! The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, Centenniel, Presumed Innocent, Lonsome Dove, The Hunt for Red October, Scarlet Letter, Treasure Island, Lord of The Rings, Narnia...they all captured my attention!
I love nothing more than taking a great idea and putting it to paper. A story to me is like a dream, it is elusive, just up ahead, or something that remains lost somewhere between between wake and sleep...then if it can be captured, corraled, even somewhat tamed, and incarcerated starkly upon white paper...it becomes something else entirely. Something, the author never could have guessed. It takes on a life of its own. The creative mind of a reader releases the imprisoned words to live a life never dreamt of by the one who built the prison.
I could talk about my novels ALL DAY and NIGHT! Just ask my wife! There is nothing more exciting than seeing a story that I have written move somebody to tears or have them beg me to write a sequel! Great stories live on in peoples memory and sometimes it just takes a glimpse of the spine to bring the emotions crashing back. I distinctly remember the chair and the room I was sitting in as I reached the end of Where the Red Fern Grows. I had decided that I was too old to cry, but nothing could stop the emotion of that old story! I sincerely hope you enjoy my novels, but it really doesn't matter...I've enjoyed them, and imprisoned them. I encourage you to set them free! Never stop reading.
