At the tender age of seven, Sherri nearly killed a promising fiction career when she abandoned pen and paper in favor of a new medium: acting out her fantasies with Barbie dolls. Fortunately, the universe believes in second chances. She put down the Barbies, picked up a laptop computer, and published her first novel, a historical romance, before turning thirty. The youngest of the Whine Sisters, Sherri Browning Erwin makes her home in Massachusetts, where she continues to sacrifice Barbie dolls to the gods of fiction in hopes of scoring wild critical and commercial success before she hits another dramatic milestone birthday. Sherri married her own Mr. Right, Mr. Always Right, the same year she graduated from Mount Holyoke College. They live happily ever after with a charming son, a lovely daughter, a crafty corgi(Pembroke Welsh) and a very special pug.
Astrological Sign: Libra. Diplomatic and charming. Indecisive and self-indulgent.
Favorite Leading Man: Johnny Depp
Favorite Comfort Food: Fluffernutter. http://www.wickedwhoopies.com/

Pinterest! Have you heard of it? It’s the new thing. You take things that interest you online and you pin the pictures to boards and basically have a whole bunch of “Boards” (pinboards, bulletin boards, what have you) in different interests, like travel, food and wine, fashion. I have one on Proper Victorian Vampyre Slaying, [...]

And now what you have all been waiting for… our Whine Person of the Year 2011! But of course, we went for naughty over nice, due to popular demand. Presenting Whiner of the Year 2011, Anthony Weiner. Or, as you might know him: Oh, sorry. You mean you don’t want to see it? But he [...]

First bit of advice for the New Year: don’t meet your idols. Chances are, when your idol happens along, you won’t be ready. You might be like me, holding leftover spicy green beans in a garlic chili sauce from P.F. Chang, reeking, feeling like your stomach might be about to explode, when your husband (buying [...]

Heaven knows, we need never be ashamed of our wolfish cravings. . . . Bristly, sensitive, and meat-hungry Pip is a robust young whelp, an orphan born under a full moon. Between hunting escaped convicts alongside zombified soldiers, trying not to become one of the hunted himself, and hiding his hairy hands from the supernaturally [...]

It’s that time of year– time to nominate a Whine Person of the Year. We’ve gone naughty, snarky, giving the award in the spirit of thumbing our noses at bad behavior. The Kardashians were last year’s Whiners of the Year. Tom Cruise was our choice in the year of his couch-jumping. We’ve gone nice, honoring [...]

It’s Christmas time. There’s no need to be afraid. At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade. And we decorate trees and listen to carols and start to question those lyrics, particularly Do They Know It’s Christmas? the Band Aid 80s classic. Yes, in the 80s, I loved the song, and the video, [...]

A few weeks ago, Pretty in Pink was on TV, and I watched it again. This is one I haven’t seen since 1986, the year it came out… which was also the year I was a senior in high school, like the main characters, and going through things like parties, prom, impending graduation, and the [...]

We just had a pet emergency here at home. My corgi Kylie, who was never spayed (because she never leaves the yard or spends time with unfixed male dogs, and my pug needed a few surgeries that left me unwilling to put another beloved under the knife at the time), somehow contracted a very serious [...]

I’m attracted to men who can raise one eyebrow. Weird, right? Like this: This: Yes, even this: While researching this article (yes, I research!) I discovered a link to a list of actors who act with their eyebrows. Leonard Nimoy was # 1, but I think Ryan Reynolds should be on it. He has the [...]

The tabloids (like New York Daily News, where I got most of the pictures), love to run headlines like Stars without Makeup, presumably to shock us, or make us feel better about ourselves, or worse about ourselves when stars still look good without makeup, or to make us think “whoa, that star is really not [...]

In 1999, when my first book was coming out, I joined a Dell Authors Email loop, hoping the veterans of publishing could offer some guidance in a confusing new world. I found that guidance, but also support, and something I was never expecting: lifelong friendships. We eventually all left Dell and started working with other [...]

Mindy Kaling had a blog, I think now a Tumblr, where she shares things she bought that she loves. She inspired me to do the same. 1) Mindy’s book. Is Everyone Hanging Out without Me? And other concerns. I haven’t read it yet but I plan to, because Mindy is smart and funny. She’s a [...]

The Kutchers are divorcing. @MrsKutcher might want to change that Twitter name. He’s apparently a serial cheater. Sad But good for her for moving on. Divorced Jennifer Lopez has a younger new man who dislikes wearing shirts. You get it, girl! Amy Adams loves being a mom, and doesn’t even mind that she now has [...]

Saturday, October 29: Major freak pre-Halloween snowstorm strikes the Northeast. Erwins lose power within the first few hours of the storm (after stocking up on both perishable and non-perishable food at the grocery store, naturally). Erwin daughter gets stuck on a NJ Transit train on her way into NYC to see Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter!) [...]

Have you heard of this? I won’t even say their names because I don’t think they deserve one bit of press or attention, but I wanted to bring them up anyway because the curiosity factor– like with roadkill, don’t want to look but you can’t look away– is too great. Not great enough to name [...]

For Halloween, I’m sure many people will do just that, dress up as Lady Gaga, have a ball, and take off the costume at the end of the night. Lady Gaga never gets to stop being Lady Gaga. It must be exhausting! I was thinking about it in the car the other day. How do [...]

Too many good books to read! I’m currently reading three at once. I try not to read more than one at a time, but I started on Elin Hildebrand’s Barefoot as a break from the very long and involved part two of the Game of Thrones series– and then my Kindle Daily Deal was for [...]

Before my grand birthday vacation to the wonderful world of Disney, I had the chance to visit my daughter at college for Family Weekend (We always called it Parents’ Weekend, but I guess my daughter’s school is more inclusive, and we did bring her brother along). Sadly, we left the Oh Yeah CD in the [...]

No, I’m not auditioning for Annie (though I am sure I would be rocking the red curls). I’m excited about my birthday. Tomorrow, I turn mumble-mumble. That’s right! The big mumble-mumble. You don’t really need to know my age, right? Let’s just say I’m the youngest of the Whine Sisters and leave it happily at [...]
