Welcome! Please click FOLLOW if you'd like to be updated about my new releases. About me: Cheryl has always loved the exciting and diverse worlds available between the covers of books. As a child she wrote stories and drew covers, then stapled them into little books. She cut all the tiny images from the book club advertisements in the Sunday newspaper and glued them to bits of cardboard so Barbie had a full library. Cheryl is the married author of more than fifty books, both historical and contemporary. Her stories have earned numerous RITA nominations, Romantic Times awards and are published in over a dozen languages. One thing all reviewers and readers agree on regarding Cheryl’s work is the degree of emotion and believability. In describing her stories of second chances and redemption, readers and reviewers use words like, “emotional punch, hometown feel, core values, believable characters and real-life situations.” Amazon and Goodreads reviews show her popularity with readers. The author lives in the Midwest, USA. When she’s not writing or spending time with her family, she’s checking out garage sales, flea markets and antique malls. Among her collections are teacups and teapots, roosters, chicken kitchen timers, vintage spice tins, wooden recipe boxes, Barbies, charm bracelets, vintage jewelry, Kokeshi dolls, white stoneware, Delftware, souvenir spoons, Goebel birds, Royal Copley planters, vintage hankies and of course books. Cheryl admits she’s a bargain hunter with the heart of a hoarder, trying to live as a minimalist. The struggle is real. Cheryl is currently at work on an indie series called Aspen Gold with her critique partners of many years. She believes in paying it forward, and her some of her most rewarding experiences have been sharing in the successes of writers she has mentored over the years. email Cheryl at: SaintJohn@aol.com Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/cherylstjohn Blog: https://cherylstjohn.blogspot.com/ Newsletter: https://tinyurl.com/CherylStJohn Visit her on the web: http://www.cherylstjohn.net/ BookBub: https://www.bookbub.com/profile/cheryl-st-john Like her Facebook author page: https://www.facebook.com/CherylStJ Twitter: https://twitter.com/_CherylStJohn_ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cherylstjohn/ She's a Pinterest junkie! https://www.pinterest.com/cheryl_stjohn/
