Having lived in every region of the United States, she grew up in Virginia and now resides in San Diego and Vermont. Sheri graduated with a BA in English Literature from American University in Washington DC. Prior to beginning her MFA, she attended the summer Iowa Writer’s Workshop. Her poetry has been published in Cutthroat, A Journal of the Arts and Poetry Miscellany, U-T Chattanooga. A critical essay was published in The Asheville Poetry Review as well as a literary paper in the Ljubljana University Journal in Slovenia. Her first micro fiction piece was published in On the Run. Sheri’s landscape photography and poetry feature the natural world and her interest in how time and space are experienced within our landscapes, our senses, and the human consciousness.


Wendy Matthews

Wendy grew up reading every Nancy Drew book published, and always knew she would be a writer. She found an opportunity to write a book about people who had been laid off from their job but then found new purpose in life. The book is called Tweeners: True stories of people who have successfully made mid-life career changes. Five years ago, Wendy attended a writer’s retreat in Tuscany, which jump started her current writing effort called Choices. SDWEG has been a great resource for her, and she looks forward to giving back as a board member.

Edna is a new author with 37 years in criminal justice and the intelligence community has inspired her to write true crime stories. After retirement, she started her private investigation and security consulting business, Top Security Solutions & Investigations. Edna has also spent the last 10 years teaching her tradecraft of criminal intelligence to law enforcement in the US and internationally.

She would be honored to serve on the SDWEG Board and be surrounded by inspiring authors and editors.


ShuJen Walker

She ensures a smooth process between the writer and the reviewers assigned to critique the work. Before being on the Guild board, ShuJen volunteered to write blogs for the Guild website. Her focus is improving the Manuscript Review Program so that writers who entrust the Guild with their work receive the most productive and beneficial critique possible.
