Bio: Cheryl Renee Herbsman
Name: Cheryl Renee Herbsman
'09 Book Title: BREATHING
Publisher: Viking Children's Books
Favorite Books: I'm a sucker for the Harry Potter series. But aside from that I love girl stories and books with a magical or mystical element. I love DANCING ON THE EDGE, THE ALCHEMIST, SCRAMBLED EGGS AT MIDNIGHT, and THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER. I'm also a fan of Laurie Halse Anderson, T.A. Barron, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Jodi Piccoult, and Alice Hoffman. I've always loved Judy Blume and Roald Dahl.
Favorite Bit of Writing Advice: NEVER GIVE UP!
Random Info About Me: I have two kids. I met my husband at summer camp when I was 13. I grew up in North Carolina and now live in Northern California. The beach is my favorite place to be. I lived in Hawaii for a year and loved it, but missed the cool, crisp air of the Bay Area. Writing feels like a guilty pleasure and I'm thrilled to have sold my first book!
