Biography

A keen student of the natural world and the workings of the human heart, Pacific Northwest author Cheryl Grey Bostrom captures the mystery and wonder of both in her lyrical, surprising fiction. 

Her crossover novels Sugar Birds and Leaning on Air have won critical acclaim and more than two dozen fiction awards. What the River Keeps, winner of Christianity Today's 2025 Fiction Award of Merit, was awarded a prized Kirkus Star and named to Kirkus Reviews' Best Indies Book of June 2025. 

Widely published, her short-form work currently includes her column in the American Scientific Affiliation’s God and Nature Magazine and her Substack: Birds in the Hand. 

She has also written two non-fiction books. An avid birder and nature photographer, Cheryl lives in rural Washington State with her husband and a pack of half-trained Gordon setters. Learn more at CherylBostrom.com.
