Cherry Adair

Always an adventurer, even in her writing, award winning author Cherry Adair moved halfway across the globe from South Africa to the United States in her early 20's. She currently lives in Western Washington, with her doting husband David, their dominating ginger and white feline of ten years, T.C. (Temporary Cat) and their perfect black Schnauzer, Max.

Cherry owned an interior design business before deciding to channel her creativity into writing full time. She writes five to seven hours a day, six days a week. When asked why she chose to write romance, she says, "There simply aren't enough happy endings in the world and I wanted to create a few more for people to enjoy."

When not glued to her computer or reading, the former RITA finalist can be found puttering around her flower garden performing snailacide.

One of her favorite quotes is from the famous American Novelist Mark Twain: "My books are water; those of the great geniuses are wine -- everybody drinks water."
