C. Anthony Sherman

C. Anthony Sherman, a native Texan, born in Crockett, is also known as Tony Sherman, the artist and sculptor. He taught himself to write while serving in the U.S. Air Force. As a B-52 bomber crew chief, he wrote for several military publications while flying around the world. He continued to write on a part-time basis as a hobby until 1988, when he studied creative writing at LSU in Lafayette, Louisiana. Writing became his creative passion since he met with the famed writer Alex Haley, author of Roots. During the brief encounter they had, Mr. Haley told him to never stop writing. To date, Tony has completed three novels and has nearly completed two screenplays for film, to be released in 2016. Tony writes as if he has familiarity with his stories, which is why they are so warm, inviting, and detailed with his characters.
