Pink Noire is pleased to have the author of Target and her most recent release, How Do I Choose, Sherry Robinson. Thank you for taking the time to join me. Now, tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Sherry Robinson, and I am a native Chicagoan. I was born July with a birth sign of Leo. I am a mother of two, and a grandmother of six. My love of reading is what sparked my interest in becoming an author. My favorite authors include Danielle Steele, V.C. Andrews, Stephen King, and Edger Allen Poe. With that interest, I began writing books in high school, and my dreams became my reality as I have now published a total of four books (Damaged beyond repair, Targeted, Targeted 2, and How do I choose). In my spare time, I enjoy crocheting, reading, and spending time with my grandchildren. My more adventurous side has led me to travel to various places, such as Canada and Puerto Rico, and my hopes is to someday have the privilege of visiting every state in North America; I have visited 21 states so far and counting.
Among your books, Damaged Beyond Repair, is your biography, detailing your life challenges and how you had overcome them. In the book, you’ve discussed a very sensitive issue: child molestation and the person who was responsible. I don’t want to ask you to divulge the details of that night; but to share the importance of trust and how that might have affected future relationships.
After dealing with the issue of being molested as a child it
has played a big part in my relationships. It has taught me to be distrusting
of men, and once I feel them getting to close, I pull away. I have never learn
to trust anyone, and maybe that is what led them to ultimately cheat. I have
hidden from love for so long that I really don't know how to love anyone.
When
writing this book, what had you learn about yourself?
I have learned that there isn't any room in my life to share
with anyone. The people closet to me didn't have any idea that I was caring
around this burden. The shame of being molested is worse than the act. I had to
live my life sleep deprived, and I couldn't trust anyone with my daughter
because I had to shield her from this same act being done to her. Wherever she
was I was.
What’s
the relationship you have with this person today?
Me and this person is fine. I have forgiven him, but I
haven't forgotten about the horror I had to endure at the his hands. He had
transformed me into a person that is still hiding in the shadows of my
imagination.
Okay,
let’s go from your biography to another work of yours: Target and Target
2. Briefly, tell us the premise of the story and its characters.
This book is based on a woman{Danielle}. She was trying to
befriend a man {John}. She later learned that John was Targeting her, and had
ultimately he ended up raping her. She never got past the rape, because John
started stalking her showing up every where she was, and he even killed the
love of her life trying to keep him from getting close to her. Targeted 2 kept
the story line going because the man she killed ended up returning from
the dead, and the stalking continued causing her to try and rid herself of the
man that was making her life a living hell.
Your
latest release, How Do I Choose, seems like a hot read. Tell us more about
it.
How Do I choose is a hot read it is intended for mature
audiences because of it's sexual contents, and explicit language. It's about a
woman{Mya} who had a man at home Treshawn who loved her dearly and worshiped
the ground she walked on, but she met a man in the club {Marion} that she had
one steamy bathroom scene with which had her wanting him more and more, so she
started having sex with him every time he came to town. Treshawn bust her with Marion and they ended up
in a fist fight where Treshawn asked her right out who did she choose, and she
couldn't decide.
Of all
your characters, who would you gladly take out to dinner, and why?
I would take Treshawn out to dinner he was the kind of man
that every woman dreamed of. He was loyal, trustworthy, and dedicated.
Are
there any projects you’re working on? If so, do tell.
I have a new release do out soon called "Sins Of The
Cloth". This book is a must read because it depict how a pastor got caught
up with a woman{ Tara}, and he started breaking all ten of the commandments
just to be in a relationship with her. He started killing, stealing, and
everything else until she refused to see him anymore causing him to have a
break down in front of the whole congregation. I am in the middle of writing
How Do I Choose 2, because one of the readers asked me to, because she wanted
to know what happened to Mya after she was unable to choose between Treshawn,
and Marion.
From what
I know, your challenges hadn’t defined you. So what advice do you have for
that person who’s reading this and have gone through similar experiences
as you?
I would tell anyone it took me a long time to find myself. I
am still struggling with being molested unable to live alone for fear that
something like that will happen again. I say if you have a story to tell, tell
it no matter who might disapprove. I had some family members that were in awe,
then I had some that said get over it. I will tell anybody if you haven't been
in my shoes get over it is harder than you think. I didn't write "Damage
Beyond Repair" for the finger pointing, name calling, or for my attacker
to be persecuted. I wrote it because I was hoping it would offer me some
closure to my pain, and the sleepless nights. It offered me a little comfort,
but it didn't help with the sleepless night. I also wrote it because I know
this a struggle for many women, men, and children and I just wanted them to
know that they are not alone in their struggle, and someone else feels their
pain...
Describe
your future in one word.
