Cheri spent her formative years hiding under the blankets with a flashlight, reading everything she could get her hands on, but especially books by Stephen King, Judy Blume, Agatha Christie, and Mercedes Lackey.
Her experiences in management inspired her first novel, Involuntary Turnover, about an HR manager turned private investigator.
Cheri lives in Seattle with her husband of 18 years. She's working on her fourth novel.
