Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Sherry was raised in the small town of Fairdale, a suburb of Louisville.
Sherry got her start in writing by pledging to write a happy ending for a good friend who was going through some really tough times. The story surprised her by taking over and practically writing itself. What started off as a way to make her friend smile started her on a journey that would forever change her life.
Sherry readily admits to hearing voices and is convinced that being married to her best friend for forty-three years goes a long way in helping her write happily-ever-after's.
Sherry is the author of the multi award-winning Orphan Train Saga and the ever popular Jerry McNeal Series.
Sherry and her husband have returned to their adopted state of Michigan to be closer to their children and grandchildren. She spends most of her time in her office and greatly enjoys traveling to Libraries, Schools, and other venues where she shares her books and gives lectures on the History of The Orphan Trains.
Sherry's lectures and orphan train books are endorsed by the National Orphan Train Complex who, in 2022 presented Sherry with the prestigious Charles Loring Brace Award for the historical accuracy of her orphan train books.

My home office. Wally (Manx cat) and Murdoc (standard poodle) are always nearby.
After years of writing from home, I did a thing. In July of 2023 I rented an office building, and my hubby and oldest son went to work painting, building shelves, and turning it into the headquarters of Sherry A. Burton LLC. The building is spacious with enough rooms to dedicate an office to myself, my hubby and all three of our children, who each help with the business side of things from time to time. My new writing space has the best energy and I absolutely LOVE my new desk.
Murdoc is pleased, as he gets to come to work with me, and enjoys looking out the large glass door in the lobby.
The hubby loves the new shipping and receiving area where we mail out autographed copies of my books. I love that we were able to get the books out of our basement and I no longer have to worry about him carrying them up and down the stairs when we go to lectures and signing events.
I look forward to going to “work” each day and am excited to see what wonderful new ideas the writing voices have in store for me.
