About Sheri Cobb South

Since Georgette Heyer was dead and therefore unable to write any more Regencies, Ms. South came to the conclusion that she would have to just do it herself. After honing her craft on five young adult books for Bantam’s Sweet Dreams series, she tried her hand at the genre that she had loved for quite some time. “The Weaver Takes a Wife”, her first Regency romance, was released in the year 1999, to critical acclaim. In addition to writing Regency romance, she also writes a series of Regency mysteries that features idealistic young Bow Street Runner John Pickett. He was described by All About Romance as being entirely delectable yet a bit young. When Sheri is not busy with writing, she enjoys traveling, singing in her church choir, needlework of any kind, and reading. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of John Pickett Mysteries Books series, Sheri Cobb South has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
