Sharee Hayley-Xerri lives in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, near Sydney, Australia. She and her husband and two children enjoy walking in the Aussie forests. A primary school teacher, she loves travelling, painting, reading and all types of animals, birds and critters, even spiders. She also has a dog named Buddy.

Where does that name come from and how do you say it, you might ask? The name Xerri came with her husband from the Mediterranean island of Malta. Xerri is pronounced ‘Sherry.’ “Oh! So you’re Sharee Sherry!” Yes! That’s it. Sharee Hayley-Xerri.
