Cheryl Lewis

I was born in Buffalo, New York, in August of 1959. My family lived a short distance from the large, downtown public library. I loved walking, or riding my bike to the library with my older sister, and our friends. I'm sure I read other books at the library, but the only one that I can remember is one of my all-time favorites: Lois Lenski's "Mama Hattie's Girl."

As a young teenager, I decided that I wanted to become a writer. However, writing was a dreamed deferred by the responsibilities of marriage, raising a family, and working as a medical secretary. Now that I am no longer working, I have no more excuses not to satisfy that desire that was planted in my heart so many years ago.

I did not intend to write children's books, but it only makes sense that I would because I have a heart for children and have always encouraged youngsters to read.

Lilly's Journey is my first adult novel, and I am presently working on the sequel.

As for Wendy, there is more to come!
