After graduating from the famed Cass Technical High School,
native Detroiter Cheryl Robinson headed for D.C. where she
attended Howard University for two years before returning to
Detroit to complete her business degree from Wayne State
University. It was at Wayne State where she discovered her
passion for writing when a last minute decision to enroll in
a fiction writing class opened Cheryl's imagination for
creating memorable characters.
In 2001, shortly after the death of her only brother
Benjamin Jr., Cheryl completed her first novel, Memories
of Yesterday, which was dedicated to his memory. The
following year Cheryl self-published Memories of
Yesterday. And in 2003, her second novel When I Get
Free. In 2004, after acquiring a literary agent, she
landed her first book deal with New American Library (NAL) a
division of The Penguin Group, a major publishing company
based in New York that re-released Memories of
Yesterday in 2005 under the title If It Ain't One
Thing with the sequel It's Like That
also published by NAL the following year.
Two more book deals followed with Penguin (NAL) entitled
Sweet Georgia Brown (January 2008) and her
upcoming novel In Love With A Younger Man
(January 2009).
Aside from Detroit, Cheryl has had the opportunity to live
in Syracuse, Kansas City, Dallas, and Orlando.
