About Cheryl Burman.

When Cheryl Burman moved to the Forest of Dean in SW England, she, like Tolkien and Rowling, was inspired to write. Her fantasy MG trilogy, Guardians of the Forest, is loved by all ages. Her second novel is Keepers, women’s fiction set in the 1950s Australia. Furthermore, her flash fiction, short stories and bits of her novels have won various commendations and ten of these are included in her slim collection, Dragon Gift.

Her most recent book, Legend of the Winged Lion, is a prequel to Guardians, and in September, she will release River Witch, a magical realism story set on the banks of the River Severn.

Her poetry is introspective and narrative. She turns to poetry to help her deal with previous trauma and the deep emotions that accompany with BPD. It is a reflection of her life as a first-generation millennial Latina working-class woman with mental health difficulties.

She, Her, Ma'am: I perform poetry as well as write it. I was in a school and children's librarian for 19 years, so reading literature with expression to retain interest is a skill I have honed.
