What was her inspiration in becoming a writer of children’s books?
During a medical leave, God spoke to Cheryl’s heart to continue the call He had on her life nearly 25 years prior, to teach and disciple children according to the Scriptures. However, this new chapter of life would be as a writer of children’s books, rather than a classroom teacher. At that moment, in obedience to her Father, God, Cheryl started writing. The Holy Bible as her inspiration, she excitedly began her pursuit of this new career. With rejoicing in her heart, she was living out the verse, “…weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5b) Launching a career as a writer, Cheryl creates colorful, thematic books bringing the truths of the Scriptures in a fashion that tug at a child’s heart.

Besides sharing her love of the Scriptures, Cheryl’s interests include, nutrition and healthy cooking, decorating, exercising through weight training, pilates, hiking, and cycling. She loves being on the water whether boating, kayaking, walking along the beach, or just sitting and enjoying God’s beautiful sunsets! Cheryl enjoys music, dance, and the arts.

A devoted wife to her husband of 42+ years, blessed with four children, their spouses, and 7 grandchildren, Cheryl’s greatest treasure outside of Jesus is family.
