Cheryl Rush Cowperthwait

Cheryl has been a writer for decades but officially started publishing her works in 2017. When asks when she decided she wanted to become a writer her answer surprised us.

"It may have all started when I was a small child and had an imaginary cat. I knew exactly what it looked like, where I last left it and took it to customers of my mother's and had them pet my cat. I would also play outside and make small villages out of twigs and grass and use stones as people. I loved to imagine what they did every day. So I guess I have always been 'a writer', it just took me many years to actually write the stories I made up in my mind."

She is an award winning international bestselling author and has written and published over fifteen titles by the end of 2021 with many more coming in the near future. She does have a few pen names to differentiate her works, one being for her illustrated children's book (Leafy Forest) and another for sweet romance (C.H. Eryl), allowing those readers not to become confused with her epic fantasy books in which she writes under her real name.

Cheryl makes her home in Texas with her husband, their fainting goat and rescue cat. She loves nature and can often be seen tending to her gardens or walking amongst the trees on their country property, daydreaming up the next book.
