Cheryl Reavis is an award-winning short story and romance author who has also written under the name of Cinda Richards. She describes herself as a "late bloomer" who played in her first piano recital at the tender age of 30. Her Silhouette Special Edition novel, A CRIME OF THE HEART, reached millions of readers in Good Housekeeping magazine. Many of her Harlequin Historical titles are winners of the Romance Writers of America's RITA Award.
Born and bred, and of German and Hispanic descent, Cheryl describes her upbringing as "very multicultural.""I grew up eating enchiladas, kraut dumplings, hush puppies and grits," she says. "But not at the same time." A former public health nurse, Cheryl makes her home in North Carolina with her husband and the surviving half of the formidable feline duo known as "The Girls."
