Published in short romance fiction and a columnist for her local RWA chapter newsletter, writer Cheryl Ann Smith combines a love of history and all things English to create stories that link both passions. She is a multiple contest finalist and is currently working on a Victorian “CSI” novel that has both a sexy English nobleman suspected of murder and a spinster heroine with a unexpected skill for solving crimes.
Cheryl didn’t always want to be a writer. As a longtime fan of Kathleen Woodiwiss, she loved to read every sexy novel she could get her hands on. Then one afternoon she got a crazy idea and decided to write her own book. It took over five years, a marriage, and the birth of her first child to finish the story. It was a hundred pages too long and thin on plot but she took immense satisfaction in her accomplishment. Since then her page counts and writing time per book have been cut considerably.
In the fall of 2006, she sold her first short story, “The Unwilling Bride” to The Wild Rose Press, followed soon after with “The Lady’s Game”. She hopes to sell a full length novel in the near future. In her spare time she travels with her family and enjoys outdoor adventures when she has the time.
