Rowena Cherry

"I write chess-inspired ('mating') titles. Gods from outer space. Sexy SFR. Poking fun, (pun intended). Shameless word-play." Rowena Cherry's youth was spent on the tiny British island of Guernsey: a mystical, idyllic setting with its prehistoric earth-goddess, historic Martello towers, underground gun emplacements, and legends of faery men. Having been a school chess champion and winner of the Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award, Rowena went to ancient Cambridge University for her four-year combined honors degree in English and Education, after which she taught at exclusive boarding schools, first in Dorset, then in London. Eventually Rowena met and married her auto designer husband, who whirled her off to Germany to live the glamorous life of an alien abroad. Reassigned to America, she rode beside her husband in pace cars at the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400 and has flown in corporate jets to exotic locations. Her fast-paced life so far has been fantastic inspiration for romance novel scenarios and alien-world building. Rowena lives in Michigan with her husband and daughter.
