Sherry Thomas grew up in China and came to the United States at age thirteen. English is her second language, and she learned it partly by reading romance novels and working through crossword puzzles. After seven failed manuscripts, she published her debut novel, Private Arrangements, in 2008. Since then she has written across multiple genres, including historical romance, young adult fantasy, and historical mystery.
Her best-known work is the Lady Sherlock series, which recasts the famous detective as Charlotte Holmes, a brilliant and unconventional young woman solving cases in Victorian London. The series has been named to NPR’s best books of the year list multiple times. Thomas has also written the Elemental Trilogy, a YA fantasy series, and several well-received historical romance novels and novellas.
