Author Page for SMac

Welcome to the Author Page for SMac, the online home for author/illustrator Sheri-McClure Pitler. That's me!

I inherited my passion for writing from my father, Michigan poet Warren L. McClure. Most nights he came home after a full day's work and sat down to the typewriter at the dining room table. He often worked late into the night on what was clearly a labor of love.

Even when out and about my father was never far removed from his writing. Tucked into his shirt pocket were 3X5 cards and a pen for jotting down ideas. I remember seeing him in church, sitting in the pew, scribbling away on a card!

His example also taught me that writing is more than just a desire to express yourself in written words; it is a passion for the words themselves. He is an avid reader and collector of books on practically every subject. Another recollection I have is of pages taped to the dashboard of our car so he could read at the stoplights! I highly DO NOT recommend this!

It's no wonder I was drawn to writing. As for illustrating, I'm really just a doodler at heart. If there's a piece of paper laying around and a pencil nearby, well, somehow the pencil ends up in my hand and the paper ends up with a doodle! When you doodle as much as I do you get a lot of drawing practice! And now, thanks to the technology of the internet, I can doodle online! (See Coloring Pages for all Ages .)

At some point I developed the desire to illustrate my writing. No doubt I was inspired by the wonderfully illustrated books read to me as a child. As an adult I still love turning the page and finding an illustration, don't you?

Contents of My Author Page

This page provides a home for my written work. First up is my soon-to-be-published fantasy novel, "Bumblestook, the Accidental Wizard". Click on the cover art below for a description of the story and black and white illustrations that you can download and print.

Yet to Come:

Other written work (to be added when I find the time!) are a Medieval Play, written for a local Middle School, and fraction workbook pages. I will also add new writing projects as they develop.
