About the Book

What is Chasing Charlie? Exceptionally gifted blues guitarist Charlie Morningstar thinks he knows and he’s spent 20 years on the road running from it. Performing for only a sophisticated audience raised on the same kind of classic jazz and blues that shaped his strong musical upbringing, Charlie Morningstar has more important goals than fame and fortune; Charlie Morningstar wants to stay alive! Denying him, his blues band and his brother the chance at superstardom, Charlie goes from one gig to another struggling to keep his eye on the road ahead while always looking back. His sanity begins to unravel until one roller coaster night when déjà vu and incredible serendipity converge to set Charlie on a new road that takes him to where the chase began. Charlie finds a greater reason to stay and is reunited with an old family friend who has vast knowledge of his past, an offer for the present, and ideas about his future; all of which he’s taking to his grave!


About the Author

DJ Sherratt is passionate about many things. A great story is one of them; she loves getting consumed by great narrative. Having worked in the healthcare industry for many years, she’s been engaged in countless stories, many of which have enriched her life beyond words. Others prompted her to discover a creative outlet to provide balance to her heart and soul. Immigrating to Canada from England as a baby and raised in a household where Monty Python was revered contributed greatly to Sherratt's fun loving perspective on life. Her father was the greatest storyteller she knew and she has fond memories of listening to his fables and tales. After years of participating in amateur theatre, raising a family and doting over her loving husband, this self-proclaimed “bargain fashionista” began to write. The idea for Chasing Charlie was born after a long drive to her home in London, Ontario one winter afternoon, while accompanied by Ray Charles. This is Sherratt’s first novel.
