Cheryl King is an author who lives in Eureka Springs, Arkansas with her best friend and husband, Harland. Her first career was in publishing working as a proofreader for Doubleday and then later as an editor for a vanity press publishing firm. Life then intruded and sent her on a course where she would spend the next thirty years in corporate America in the telecommunications industry. It was a vital and exciting time with massive growth and explosive changes. She participated in the launch of some of today's most critical data networks and platforms. Through all the years she carried the dream of writing and decided to pursue her passion when she parted company with corporate employment. Her story 'Red Sky at Dawn', from the Rare Coins: A Collection of Short Stories book, was chosen for inclusion in the 2019 edition of eMerge Magazine, the online magazine of the Writers' Colony at Dairy Hollow in Eureka Springs.
