Sherryl Jordan lives in Tauranga with her young grandson Kael – it was his desire for a pirate story that inspired Finnigan. The ‘World of Story’ always seemed more real and powerful to Sherryl than the world around her. Most of her ideas just hit her over the head when she least expects them – and some stories are inspired by things that intrigue, delight, or terrify her. |
