It is with great pleasure I bring to you this brand-new-to-me author from Class Act Books!
Sherry
lives in a mid-sized Southern Wisconsin with her husband of 46 years, Bob, whom
she deems a saint for putting up with a crazy writer.
With
three children, seven grandchildren, more book signings than she can sometimes
handle, she puts out four to five books a year and loves writing in her hot
pink office.

So nice to meet you Sherry! Now tell us a little about Mistaken Identity.....
Katelyn Devereaux needs a vacation. More than a vacation,
she needs to put Denver behind her as well as the man who wants her as his wife
and the birth family who is insisting on finding her.
A secluded cottage on a lake in Wisconsin sounds like the perfect spot to get away—or is it?
Seth Miller knows the reason that he mistook Katelyn for Genean is his knowledge that his best friend’s wife was adopted by strangers at birth. Of course he can’t change the facts that Genean and Katelyn are sisters, especially after he learns that the company she wants to visit in Wisconsin is owned by Genean’s brother, Randy, and her husband, Brad.

Excerpt:
Sunlight shimmered across the
lake and it glistened as though it had been scattered with diamonds. As she
stood there in awe, taking in the beauty from the cottage, the dock invited her
into the picture of beauty. Taking her sketch pad and pencil with her, Katelyn
Devereaux walked across the lawn and sandy beach until she reached the pier.
Settling into the deck chair, she gazed out across the water.
It was such a beautiful morning.
She was so glad she’d taken the advice of her friends and accompanied Suzie
Branch to this secluded Wisconsin lake. She certainly needed a vacation and
could think of no place more relaxing than this quaint cottage hidden away in a
different world.
In the distance a loon called to
its mate, waited for a few moments for a reply and called again. This was the
kind of peaceful exchange she had not taken the time to listen for in months.
She knew nature was all around her back home, but there never seemed to be time
to sit and listen for it. In Denver she was nothing more than a machine pumping
out sketches for her clients, and on occasion, playing the gracious hostess for
Martin.
No,
I don’t want to think of the daily grind of running the Devereaux Agency, nor
Martin Collier’s marriage proposal. I need this time to figure out just who
Katelyn Devereaux really is.
Katelyn turned away from the
peaceful scene before her. Why can’t my
life be this peaceful?
You
know why, Katie. The
sound of her father’s voice within her head caused a tear to escape from the
corner of her eyes. She’d lost both of her parents at Thanksgiving and never
really gotten over their deaths. The only thing that kept her from going
completely over the edge was work, work and more work.
I
don’t think I can do this, Daddy. I don’t love Martin. I haven’t even given him
an answer concerning his proposal. Maybe I’m not cut out for the wife thing.
Even if I did marry Martin, I wouldn’t be a wife, not in the conventional way.
With him gone so much, life as his wife would be no different than life by
myself.
Katelyn’s thoughts came as a
shock. Never before had she admitted her true feeling for Martin. More than
anything else in the world, she wanted to be a little girl again without all
the problems of being a responsible adult. Back home in Denver, her life had
become too complicated to allow her to rest. For the past eight months she’d
been running the Devereaux Advertising Agency, and then there was Martin
Collier’s marriage proposal. The fact she had just learned of the fact she was
adopted, only added to the crazy quilt her life had become over the past few
months. Perhaps if her parents had told her the truth the shock wouldn’t have
been so profound but they hadn’t. She’d learned of her adoption only days after
their funeral.
Wonderful!
