I am the author of two poetry books, Hear My Voice and Wash My Soul. I also have a book of short stories, Savannah Rose, publishing soon.

I am formerly from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, though I have lived in Tollhouse, California for 17 years. My second home is in Aptos, California, where I write my poetry to the sound of crashing waves.

Poetry and writing short stories has always been my passion. Unfortunately, it took years for me to express my gift. I suffered with the humiliation of not being able to spell. I also am a survivor of being sexually abused and lacked self-confidence. Shame consumed me until I was able to be liberated by publishing my first book, Hear My Voice. I wrote my first book to inspire my daughter who is dyslexic that she can do anything in life. I didn’t realize at the time it was also my ticket to freedom from my own self made bondage.

It is my deepest desire to help my readers to overcome shame in their lives. From my own journey, I can tell you it takes a lot of energy to hide family secrets. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and that is to express your truthfulness.

Savannah Rose Book Launch

Wash My Soul

Sherri Lewis is a poet and author of short stories. Here in her second book ‘Wash my Soul’ the river is symbolic of the constant struggles one must endure to find our true spiritual nature. Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania she now resides in the Sierra foothills and spends a lot of time at her second home on the California coast. The magnificent landscapes are inspiring to her creative process.

Hear My Voice

Hear My Voice is a work of sensitive insights expressed in a kind and beautiful voice. Author Sherri Lewis is a poet and author of short stories. As a dyslexic, her poetic life immerses her in struggles that most do not understand. Growing up in poverty and abuse, Sherri finds strength in her spiritual teachings, and turns her dyslexia and background into poetic expressions of penetrating gratitude, compassion and kindness.

Savannah Rose

Savannah Rose is delicious in every sense of the word. The book has a dash of honor, laughter, fibs, and unforgettable feisty Southern Bells. There is a thin line between truth and fibs. Every short story will challenge your ability to discern the difference between the two. The history is around the time of the Civil War. Even Stonewall Jackson himself comes up from the grave with a few words of wisdom. You will be entertained by pirates, midwives, soldiers, and you may be frightened by a Louisiana voodoo woman. Don’t fret, it’s just a fib, or is it? I’ll let y’all figure that one out. Let your lips taste the sea salt and don’t forget to smell the sweetest rose ever, Savannah, my adopted home.
