Sheri WhiteFeather

Sheri WhiteFeather has worked as a retail manager, a video makeup artist and a freelance leather artisan. Since her one true passion is writing, she thrives on the joy of entertaining her readers with her imagination. She credits her husband, Dru, a tribally enrolled member of the Muscogee Creek Nation, for inspiring many of her stories. His love of animals has brought a menagerie of ever ' changing companions into her life, including horses, dogs, snakes, lizards, ferrets, hawks, falcons, owls and Bengal cats.

Sheri and Dru live in a cowboy community in Central Valley, California, and have two grown children, a son and a daughter, who inherited their dad ' s dark hair and deep brown eyes. Sheri ' s hobbies include ethnic dining, attending powwows, decorating with antiques and shopping in thrift stores for jackets from the 60s and 70s, items that mark her interest in vintage western wear and hippie fringe.

She writes passionate romances for the Silhouette Desire series and has crafted several paranormal/suspense Silhouette Bombshell novels, enjoying both genres. Most of her books feature American Indian characters. Her favorite Desire heroes to create are modern ' day warriors, men with powerful hearts and strong souls. Her favorite Bombshell heroines are wicked, witty, kick ' ass women who tackle whatever comes their way.

Sheri, an Italian American, claims a rich ancestry from great ' grandparents who immigrated to the United States. She has also written books with mob ' driven plots, drawing from interviews with family members about deceased Mafia relatives.
