Kerrie creëert verhalen voor lezers die houden van hoop met een eigenzinnige twist, waarbij ze zich richt op personages die aards, gewoon en geloofwaardig zijn. Ze gebruikt haar artistieke humor om het alledaagse leesbaar te maken, waarbij ze kruiden vindt in het gewone en medeleven in de onverschilligheid. Haar doel is om geloofwaardige, aardse fantasieën te creëren vol hoop en plezier, doordrenkt met een pittige, onverwachte wending die oprecht gelach oproept. Inspiratie voor haar verhalen haalt ze uit de lokale bevolking in haar kleine Schotse stad aan de westkust.
