The travel bug bit her as a small child, traveling extensively with her family to the South and Great Lakes regions. She's been scuba diving since 1992, encountering sharks, dolphins, stingrays and other large marine life along the way. When not writing, Sheree's usually discovering new beaches and coffeehouses, or checking items off her bucket list with her hubby, Russell, and two goofy canine kids. Four content cats round out her family on three acres in Missouri. She has an uncontrollable dependency on dark chocolate.
