Her self-publishing journey started in 2009 after pestering her Parisian publisher as to when her guidebook would go digital. Eventually this disappointing response came in: "Sorry, I haven't got a clue how to do this." So she took her book back!  Armed with strong coffee and a tech/marketing/PR background, she started her own publishing imprint (TapBooksPublishing.com) and mastered the complexities of digital publishing. Her goal now is to help as many authors as possible to self-publish successfully right out of the gate, and increase their digital content net worth. PRACTICAL PARIS: Everything You Need to Know About Paris But Didn't Know To Ask has consistently been in the Top 100 in its niche and several best-seller categories since 2010.

Since much of Sherry’s world revolves around highly technical documentation, electronic media, and curriculum, she also likes to blow off steam by working with her hands.  Crafting, woodworking, wood burning, and sculpting polymer clay provide an alternative to the computing world.  Then, of course, she documents and writes about those projects, too.

For years Terra Farrar has been hired to create and launch a myriad of projects for an array of clients from multiple industries. One of her specialties was serving non-profits and a few select corporate clients with fund-raisers. From producing golf tournaments where she was instrumental in raising over a quarter million dollars, the list of extraordinary opportunities goes on to include the development of a supplemental product line, the design and manufacture of a specialty jacket for Buck Knives, to appearances on local news and a national TV show featuring the development and implementation of romantic events. Yes, there was a period of time when Terra was known as the Queen of Romance. During her 30-years of producing and directing major events, she supported many speakers and trainers in capturing their information and converting it into products for “back of the room sales”, a process many are very familiar with from events we have attended. What began to unfold is her own signature system, SPEAK It - PACKAGE It - SELL It, to create Ca$h Generating Profitable Products her clients can now sell online, from the stage, as well as joint ventures and in some cases, private labeling.
