Cherry Odelberg thrives in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado where she hikes, makes melodious music and writes what the hikes and music teach her. She has lived and written in places as diverse as Guam, Germany, Texas, Seattle, Chicago, Utah and Arizona. She loves to travel, but hates to drive; likes to eat gourmet food, but dislikes to cook; revels in a tidy house but shrinks from dusting; and feels that most of life's problems - including writer's block - can be solved by a long walk, a session at the piano, or a soak in the nearest hot springs. Cherry also writes women's fiction and delightfully educational children's musicals.
