Welcome!
I’m glad you came to visit. I’m Sheri Cobb South, author of more than twenty-five novels in a variety of genres ranging from Regency romance to young adult to historical mystery.
I'm pleased to announce the publication of my first nonfiction book, now available for free through Kindle Unlimited or (if you like to mark up your reference books) as a fully indexed paperback!
Between 2016 and 2019, novelist Sheri Cobb South saw her writing income go from less than $5,000 a year to just under six figures. How did she do it? More importantly, can you do it, too?
From “Things you can do for free” up to “Things you can do for $2,000 or more,” from formatting your ebook as a paperback to estimating the cost of producing an audiobook, this eminently readable guide will help you get the most out of your promotional dollars as you start out small and set up multiple income streams as your writing income grows.

John Pickett and I fared very well in last year's Colorado Authors League Awards for Excellence! Brother, Can You Spare a Crime? won the award for Action/Adventure, after being a double finalist in that category as well as the Mystery category. The John Pickett/It's a Wonderful Life mashup novella Nowhere Man was a dual finalist in both Fantasy and Paranormal. Finally, my blog post "Mudlarking!" was a finalist in the Blogging category.
Now you can complete your collections (and save money too!) with these convenient 4- or 5-book box sets!

Did you know...?
In addition to the three novellas, there are three short stories that are companions to the John Pickett mystery series. And they can be downloaded for FREE! Click on the links below to download them to your Kindle or other e-reader, or as a .pdf file to print out or read straight from your computer.
"I'll See You in My Dreams" - Also known as "The honeymoon story," this short-short is like an epilogue at the end of Too Hot to Handel. (It's still PG-rated, though.) Get it here.
"Finders Weepers" - This rather longer story (about 15 typed double-spaced pages) takes place just after the events of Book 6, For Deader or Worse. (If you have half an hour to kill, you can also listen to it; just scroll down the page until you reach the link.) Download it here.
"Tales out of School" - This short story is about the same length as "Finders Weepers," and follows Mystery Loves Company. (It contains major spoilers to at least two of the earlier books, so it's not a great choice for beginning the series.) You can download it here.
If you'd like to hear my books narrated by some of the top talents in the growing field of audiobooks, you can get your first selection FREE when you open an account at Audible. (Thereafter, you'll get a credit each month, which you can use for any audiobook you choose.) Interested? Here are a couple of links to get you started:
In Milady's Chamber, Book 1 in the John Pickett mystery series.
Or, if you'd rather start with the prequel novella, you can do so here.
If The Weaver Takes a Wife, voiced by Noah Michael Levine, is more your thing, here's a link to it.
If you're new to audiobooks and aren't sure if you'd like them (or if you've just wondered what John Pickett sounds like!), here's "Finders Weepers," a free short story for you to enjoy. It's a 35-minute listen (about 15 typed double-spaced pages); chronologically, it follows For Deader or Worse, but it's not necessary to have read that book to understand the story.
