Cheryl Shireman lives in Midwest on a beautiful lake with her husband, Bruce. "One of the things I like best about writing is that I can do it from home in my pajamas." She started writing as a teen, probably inspired after reading one of her favorite books, My Friend Flicka. Through the years, amid marriage, the birth of three children (Rocky, Lee Anne, and Scarlett), divorce, and a second marriage, the one thing that has remained constant is her love of writing. She has written many "practice novels" through the years ("the kind that get stuffed in a box and shoved under your bed or clutter your hard drive"). With her last child married, she is now ready to spread her own wings and fully… devote her time to writing. She is currently hard at work (probably in her pajamas and staring out the window at the lake) on her second novel.
