A Colorful Jacket

I had to write my own bio. There is nothing worse. Someday I will have someone to do these things for me.

Once finished, I thought, well it makes sense that I add this extended about me to my blog.

**
Cherilyn David is a 35-year-old writer and artist living in Southeast Kansas with her teenage daughter. When she isn't writing, her interests include painting, genealogy research, photography and home décor. Cherilyn volunteers at the local library and spends most of her time being a mother and developing her gifts. Cherilyn has a child with special needs and is always learning and becoming more aware of the trials that go along with that journey.

Cherilyn grew up in San Diego and started writing as soon as she learned how her feelings and experiences could be translated onto paper. She is almost finished with a cookbook for couples, slated for May 2011 release, has completed a romance/drama Trying To Love You, has started a long term plan on her memoir By Any Other Name and is self publishing You Come From A Long Line of Strong Women, for her daughter. Cherilyn is the author of Two Sides of Wilde, available at Amazon.com and a memoir, My Daughter Still.

Cherilyn has one self titled blog www.cherilyndavidblog.blogspot.com and participates in another, www.makinghomeworkblog.blogspot.com , dedicated to mothers who work from home. All of Cherilyn's endeavors can be explored at www.cherilyndavid.com .

Cherilyn also submits poetry, articles on various topics to online and traditional magazines and has tried her hand at song writing and a Halloween children's book, Creepy Christina; completed and currently in the illustration stages.

Cherilyn has started and stopped her education over the years, completing more than two years of college as an English Major. She is finally resigned to being a student of life and tries not to worry about the lack of crisp certificates on her walls. There are instead- photographs, mirrors and wine!
