Historical fiction through eyes of women who lived American history.
Author Cheryl Potts specializes in early American historical fiction.
Cheryl’s books bring to light the history that may have bored you while suffering through your high school history classes. Retold through exquisite research and stunning character arcs, these very real stories will capture your imagination as you traverse real, yet altogether different, times of the past.
Cheryl writes from Northern California where she lives with her husband, Richard, and dog, Katie.
History is not about dates on a blackboard to be memorized, but about real people, passion, love, lowly schemes and mighty goals.
