Raised in Epsom, Surrey, Cheryl now lives in Taunton, Somerset, with her partner and three beautiful girls aged 10, 8, and 7. A love of reading, inspired by travel books and non-fiction biographies, led to a desire to write - more specifically, to write for her children. Cheryl blogs about her life with her girls and often includes self-penned rhymes for her readers, so a rhyming children's book seemed the obvious choice! Cheryl also has a love of photography, and although she currently works as an administrator her ambition is to achieve her dream of being a professional writer, blogger and photographer. Pete the Cheeky Parakeet will be Cheryl's first published book. A light-hearted and fun story about a bird with a bad attitude, it carries a message for young readers about the importance of friendship and compassion.
