Biography

Pacific Northwest novelist Cheryl Grey Bostrom writes lyrical, surprising fiction rooted in the natural world and the uncharted territory of the human heart.

Her novel What the River Keeps earned a Kirkus Star and rare company as one of only two adult fiction titles named to Kirkus Reviews' Best Indies Books for June 2025. Her previous novels Sugar Birds and Leaning on Air have won more than two dozen literary awards. 

Her short-form work appears in literary and scientific publications, and her Substack newsletter Birds in the Hand draws readers worldwide. She is currently at work on a historical novel set in the Pacific Northwest.

An avid birder and nature photographer, Cheryl lives in rural Washington State with her veterinarian husband and a pack of half-trained Gordon setters.
