Cheryl Reavis's Silhouette Special Edition, A CRIME OF THE HEART, reached millions of readers in Good Housekeeping magazine and won the Romance Writers of America's coveted RITA award for Best Long Contemporary Series Romance the year it was published.
She also won the RITA for her Harlequin-Silhouette novels, PATRICK GALLAGHER'S WIDOW, THE PRISONER, and THE BRIDE FAIR, and she has been a RITA finalist three times.
Publishers Weekly described her Berkley single-title novel, PROMISE ME A RAINBOW, as
". . . an example of delicately crafted, eminently satisfying romantic fiction."
Her literary short stories have appeared in a number of "little magazines" such as The Crescent Review, Sanskrit, The Bad Apple, The Emrys Journal, and in the Greensboro Group's statewide competition anthology, WRITER'S CHOICE.
