Grave Expectations

by Sherri Browning Erwin

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 [...]

Sensational!

by Sherri Browning Erwin

I’m sure I’m not the only one excited about the upcoming Hunger Games movie. I devoured the books and I can’t wait to see how it plays out on screen. I think it looks phenomenal. The Harry Potter series was probably the first of the recent series of books to catch on like wildfire and [...]

The one in which Molly discusses her process of coming up with [...]

Saturday is for Books!

by Sherri Browning Erwin

What I am reading: Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan I love Maine. I vacation in Maine. I saw a book called Maine, with a beachy cover, and there you go. I wanted something to read between Game of Thrones books (must read second book before season two of the show, but the first one was [...]

Tumblr and F__k Yeah Hunger Games

by Sherri Browning Erwin

No, I wasn’t just looking for an excuse to work a curse word into the header (though it was a fun first here at the Whine Sisters, tee hee).  At the urging of my daughter, because my next book Grave Expectations has some Young Adult appeal, I joined Tumblr… because apparently all the kids are [...]

Something in the Eyre

by Sherri Browning Erwin

In case you hadn’t heard, there’s a new Jane Eyre movie out drawing rave reviews. Starring Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and Michael Fassbender, with the incomparable Judi Dench as Mrs. Fairfax. What’s very flattering is that I’ve been getting letters from readers asking why they didn’t make Jane Slayre instead. My readers are fantastic. [...]

Muppets Go Viral

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Guilty pleasure admission time: I still watch Sesame Street on occasion. My daughter and I will watch together. It makes us smile. She is convinced Elmo is evil and narcissistic and has tried to take over Sesame Street. I have no beef with Elmo, but we’re both partial to Grover. I’ve loved Grover since I [...]

Zombie Chic!

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Recent fashions for men, from Men’s Fashion Week (yes, seriously!). Is Jane Slayre influencing fashion? I wish! Hardly. More like zombies are suddenly all over the place, the new big thing. There’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies that kicked off the literary mash-up trend. And all sorts of zombie books suddenly making the rounds. Robin Becker’s [...]

Hat’s Off, er, On!

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Ascot Fashion Report! Sure, we have the Kentucky Derby with our own dazzling array of hats. Every year, I watch, waiting to ooh and aah– and some are good. But generally, the UK has us beat on fashions to wear to the races. Especially, on the hats. I’m reminded of Austen’s Lydia Bennet buying an ugly [...]

Whiny: Too Old for MTV?

by Sherri Browning Erwin

It’s official. I’m old. Yes, I watched the MTV Movie Awards on first broadcast. Why? Because I believed myself young and hip and ready to roll like that, even though I remember having a bad reaction to the broadcast last year. Why? I wondered why when it opened with the kids from Jersey Shore. (Gossip [...]

Tuesday: Books, Pet Buys

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Last week, I received a glowing email from Rosalyn Landor, the woman who gave voice to Jane Slayre in the Blackstone Audio version of the book. I was thrilled, not because she gushed about how much fun she had reading it and how I made her job easier by writing something that lent itself so [...]

She could go for the CNN anchor look, jacket with minimal jewelry and well-tamed hair. Or the Good Morning America look, where she wears form-fitting clothing that [...]

Whiny Wednesday: Sherri vs the Volcano

by Sherri Browning Erwin

My daughter was scheduled to fly to France, her first trip abroad, with her school’s French Club on Thursday April 15. And guess what happened? Well, you all know by now. A volcano erupted in Iceland. We heard the news in the morning. Volcano, blah blah. Thought nothing of it until we heard it closed [...]

Tuesday: Must Buy!

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Ode to Target. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. No, wait. Let me count the money I’ve spent. I think that shows my appreciation quite enough. My daughter is headed to France. In preparation, we’ve been to Target at least twice a week in the past month, and each trip averages [...]

Pop Culture Monday: SAG vs Golden Globe

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Comparisons are fun! Shall we have a look at some different style choices for SAG/Golden Globes? Christina Hendricks. Full figured gal, on the hit show Mad Men. I love that she has amazing curves. And she knows how to play them up or down, clearly. For the Golden Globes, she let the globes come out [...]
