Autorenporträt

Sherwood Smith studied in Europe before earning a Masters in history, afterward working as a governess, a bartender, and an electrical supply verifier-not all at the same time-until she capped quotations of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by a screenwriter, who promptly offered her a job. She wore various hats in the film industry before she turned to writing books. She teaches writing at Viable Paradise Writing Workshop on Martha's Vineyard when there isn't a pandemic going on. Website at sherwoodsmith.net, and she has a Patreon, where future volumes are being read a chapter a day.
