About the author

Sherry Knowlton

14 books71 followers
Sherry Knowlton is the award-winning author of the Alexa Williams suspense novels, including Dead of Autumn, Dead of Spring, Dead of Summer, Dead of Winter, and Dead on the Delta, a two-volume travel memoir, Beyond the Sunset, and co-author of American Roulette and Fatal Introductions.

Her lifelong passion for books started as a child when she would sneak a flashlight to bed so she could read beneath the covers. All the local librarians knew her by name.

Now retired from executive positions in government and the health insurance industry, Sherry is “rewriting retirement” by turning her passion for writing into a new career. She draws on her professional background and worldwide travel experiences as inspiration for her writing.

Sherry and her husband Mike began their journey together in the days of peace and music when they traversed the country in a hippie van. Embracing the travel experience, they continue to explore far-flung places around the globe. These stories and more are recounted in her two-part travel memoir Beyond the Sunset.

When she’s not on the road, Sherry lives in the mountains of Southcentral Pennsylvania, where her Alexa Williams suspense series is set.

Compelling Review:
Fatal Introductions is a rich anthology of mystery and suspense, offering twenty short stories from twenty-one talented authors under Milford House Press. Each tale works as a gripping standalone while also serving as an entry point into larger worlds, introducing readers to recurring protagonists from established series.

What makes this collection shine is its variety: from hard hitting thrillers to clever whodunits, psychological twists to character-driven mysteries, every story brings something fresh to the table. The anthology not only entertains but also acts as a sampler, giving readers the perfect chance to discover new favorite authors and series.

Contributors like JC Gatlin, Sherry Knowlton, and Carolyn Kleinman deliver compelling, tightly written shorts that hook instantly and leave you eager to explore their longer works. For mystery lovers, Fatal Introductions is like a treasure chest twenty doorways into twenty unique storytelling voices.

This is more than an anthology; it’s an invitation to enter an entire universe of crime, suspense, and unforgettable characters.
