It's Beginning to Read a Lot Like Christmas: Featuring Sheri Wall

How did you come up with the idea for your Christmas book? 
A Silly Milly Christmas is actually non-fiction. At our family Christmas Eve brunch, Milly, our niece's Great Dane,  was being her usually silly self, as we laughed and took pictures. I quickly realized I had great content for her next book, which would be the second book written in her collection. 

Could you give a short synopsis on the book for my readers?
It's Christmas Eve, and Milly is willy-nilly with excitement as friends and family start to arrive. Lyrical limericks, educational repetitive verses, and vivid art describe Milly's holiday festivities. Is Milly naughty or nice? Does she get to see Santa Claus? Both young and old will giggle with glee as this real-life Great Dane spreads "pawsitive" holiday cheer.

What are some of your favorite Christmas traditions? 
I love wrapping presents with unique touches. I vowed years ago to never use stick-on bows. Christmas Eve dinner with a silly gift exchange is one of my long-time favorites. 

What’s next in writing for you?  
I have three books in production, one is a new Christmas book , one is a second edition of my first Christmas book, and one is about a special grandmother. There are a few others swirling in my head as well.

What’s the best writing tip you’ve learned or been given you’d like to share? 
I constantly remind myself that not everyone will love my work, but it's, my job to create.
What do you know now about writing and publishing you wish you had learned sooner? I wish I had realized the full scope of marketing. There are many hats to wear within the marketing field.

Any last words or tips? 
Don't be afraid to share your story! We all have a unique voice. 
Are there any other books that you’d like to tell my readers about? I'd love to share that Milly currently has three other books in her collection: Silly Milly the Dane, A Silly Milly Birthday, and A Silly Milly Fall

That's all for today's interview. I hope you'll take the time to check out the books on her website and leave a comment. When you do, you'll have a chance to win a FREE book. But you have to act quick. This offer is only good for 7 days!

    What a fun interview!!! I am so excited to see what she does next! I can't believe she is working on three books right now 😱! I love the Silly Milly Series and have followed Sheri and Milly on Instagram for a long time!

  2. What a great interview with insight into “A Silly Milly Christmas”, the author’s personal fun holiday traditions, and advice for other authors (like myself.) And it’s amazing that she is working on 3 other books. Kudos to you! I do have “I am Thankful” which is a great book but definitely look forward to the opportunity to read the Silly Milly series. It sounds like an entertaining series! Good luck!
