Cheryl Bolen

When she was news editor of an award-winning Texas newspaper, Cheryl Bolen published her first novel, A Duke Deceived, with Harlequin Historical in 1998. The book netted Bolen the title of Notable New Author, and her career was launched. After careers in journalism and in teaching English, Bolen is happy to be writing full time now. She and her husband--a college professor--live in a suburb of Houston and are the parents of two sons who claim to be grown.
