About Sherry Morris

Sherry Morris is from a small town in Missouri, but hasn’t let that stop her.

She spent the summer of her 18th birthday travelling up the coast of France with a circus and after graduating from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a teaching degree, joined the Peace Corps. She served two years in Ukraine (’93-’95) and spent a further year in Poland before moving to London in 2000.

In February 2017, she moved to a farm in the Scottish Highlands where she lives happily ever after.

Her work has appeared online with Horror Scribes and Gemini, in print with Molotov Cocktail and the Bath Flash anthology To Carry Her Home. Her work has also been performed with Liars’ League London and The Space theatre in east London. A story she wrote about her Peace Corps experience appears in A Small Key Opens Big Doors. She writes with the support of her family, friends, partner and Bella, the cat, who always has the final say. Find more of her work at www.uksherka.com

Humans in the Wild: Reactions to a Gun Loving Country 1-Oct-2020

by Mythic Picnic, Jennifer Russon

( 4 )

$5.35 $18.75

Humans in the Wild: Reactions to a Gun Loving Country is a collection of flash fiction, poetry, art, personal essays and short stories about the many faces of gun violence, and how Americans grapple with over 15,000 deaths recorded by the Gun Violence Archive last year (2019) alone.

In the advent of Coronavirus, the number of mass shootings have sharply fallen; however, the pandemic has escalated racial tension, mental health issues, poverty and other systemic problems that create a perfect storm for either needing or running from guns.

A collection of over 30 works explore that tension from the point of view of teachers, soldiers, suburbanites, boys and girls, and sometimes the shooters themselves. They duck and cover in stories with titles like “Thoughts and Prayers” and “Balancing the Scales of Justice”.

Readers will identify with gut wrenching tales of parents, numb as they watch their child’s school fall into mayhem on T.V. They will identify with a protagonist rotting in jail for self-defense, a grief-stricken man holding hostages at gunpoint, or the scared lady who frightens off a shooter by throwing a jar of loose change.

There are heroes, snipers, thieves and innocent bystanders — all demanding to know, in their own unique way, why the world is so messed up, and if it can ever be repaired.

And while some may pick up this book, thinking it’s an indictment of firearms, they are proved wrong by some of the poems and essays that acknowledge just how seductive guns can be.

Behind the smell of gun powder in these pages, are human admonitions of guilt over feeling the last mass shooting is just another Tuesday. The stories include those of reluctant, shell shocked teachers venting about the next active shooter drill — and not without droll humor.

This anthology was sponsored by @MythicPicnic, an indispensable writers resource on Twitter. Friends of the “Twitterary” magazine include the author Kathy Fish, whose flash fiction, “Collective Nouns for Humans in the Wild” is the backbone of this book, and motivated many other talented writers and artists to answer Mythic Picnic/Swallow Publishing’s call for submissions.

A Small Key Opens Big Doors: 50 Years of Amazing Peace Corps Stories: Volume Three: The Heart of Eurasia (Peace Corps at 50) 1-Nov-2013

by Sherry Morris, Jay Chen

( 5 )

$12.59 $20.99

The Cold War officially ended in 1991 and opened a world of fresh opportunities for the Peace Corps. The fact that PCVs could move seamlessly into a constellation of states that once comprised the USSR is a testament to the flexibility and durability of the organization. All Peace Corps needs is an invitation. Volunteers are always ready to step up, learn a new language, learn some new skills, and then go to work in unfamiliar lands.

Of the 40 stories in this volume, some reach back to early Peace Corps years in Iran and Turkey. Others engage with the newness of democratic freedoms, drawing back the curtain on old suspicions. Here you’ll see why walking a Thanksgiving carrot cake through a revolution is easy. But following a whole new script for free market, democratic customs? Not so much. And meanwhile, in Mongolia, you’ll learn how to celebrate the Lunar New Year with a shot of fermented horse milk, Cheers!
