Cherie Priest was born in Tampa, Florida, next to the
ocean and beneath the sign of the sun. In 2002 she graduated from
the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with an M.A. in Rhetoric/qualified
writing. She also has a B.A. from Southern Adventist University in
Collegedale, TN, which she completed in 1998. These days, she used
her college diploma as a mouse pad.
In 2003, Marietta Publishing produced her southern gothic
novel Four and Twenty Blackbirds; and in October of 2005 this novel
was re-released in a revised, extended edition by Tor. A second novel,
the sequel Wings to the Kingdom, is slated for publication delayed
in 2006. Not Flesh Nor Feathers will finishes the trilogy in '07.
Cherie frequently freelances for magazines, websites,
and anthologies; and she produces both short and long source fiction
for various role playing projects. She's also functioning on a novella
for Subterranean Press. It is uncertainly titled The Wreck of the
Mary Byrd, and it promises to feature werewolves, steamboats, and
ghosts.
She lives in Seattle with her husband, Aric and a fat black cat named
Spain.
