It is with a humble heart that she deposits this last tidbit to her readers: Sheryl says, "God truly inspired The Coco Series. In the summer of 2011, I sat crisscrossed on my living room floor, ready to start my first novel. However, God kindly interrupted my plans and imparted this message to my spirit: 'I want you to write five series and subtitle them: The Coco Series.' I obeyed this gentle nudge in my spirit and began to compose the very first book in this series, Coco Finds Her Niche." Being submissive to God has its rewards, for Sheryl has gained much knowledge over the past seven years. She gives all praise, glory, and honor to Him. Acts 17:28 states, "For in him we live, and move, and have our being...we are his offspring."
