Sheri Ochs


Biography

Sheri Ochs started writing children’s books when she was just a child herself, beginning with a whole series of (yet unpublished) short stories that she wrote and illustrated at the age of nine. Although she has made a name for herself writing and publishing eight nonfiction books to date about health, fitness, and diabetes—under her professional name of Dr. Sheri Colberg (www.shericolberg.com)—she still prefers to read fiction of all genres in her leisure time and write fiction in her "spare" time.

The Sandy Beach series is her first work of published fiction, written for youth (and adults) of all ages. She has also written two adult novels (to date) that will be published shortly.

A mother of three, she currently lives in Virginia Beach with her husband and sons, but plans to move the whole family back to California (where she spent most of her formative years and where she most loves to live) in the near future.
