User:Cheryl Ries - Author

Cheryl Ries is an author, model, and budding photographer who currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona. Having bridged the transition from a more active period of modeling to mid-life, Cheryl had to thoroughly examine her talents, passions, and abilities, turning them into something more feasible for the next leg of the journey ahead. While pursuing her passion for writing within the last decade or so, Cheryl has written several inspirational non-fiction books, publishing ten within recent years. Those titles are now available worldwide, with several more soon to be published. Cheryl has been avidly blogging for several years, she's guest published on other blogs, and because she has spent significant time in Italy and knows Italian, she helped to translate several of an Italian author's published works of poetry from Italian into English.

Through her active travel associated with modeling as well as for personal reasons, Cheryl developed an adventurer's eye for exploring the world and commenting on it. She is an avid observer and a keen participant in the discovery process, having developed an accessory passion for photography to help capture her observations. Her future books are surely inspirational but venture further beyond the genre of faith-based matters to which she has previously given most of her focus. Cheryl's experiences in front of the camera while modeling has given her an eye toward's framing others and life through a similar focus. She hopes to relay the variations of cultures and intricacies of lifestyles she has personally discovered while traveling, through the unique personalities she has encountered!
