Author Information

Sherry Monahan began her writing career when she combined her passion for food, travel, and history. She penned her first book, Taste of Tombstone, in 1998. That same passion landed her a monthly magazine column in 2009 when she began writing her food column in True West entitled Frontier Fare. More recently, she has started another column, Lively Libations, discussing cocktails and spirts of the Old West in Saddlebag Dispatches. Sherry is a culinary historian who enjoys researching the genealogy of food and spirits. While there's still plenty to explore about frontier food, she's expanding her culinary repertoire to include places and foods from all over America and beyond. She holds memberships in the James Beard Foundation, the Author's Guild, Single Action Shooting Society, and the Wild West History Association.
