Cheryl Thomas
A native of rural northern Indiana, Cheryl graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in 2009 (B.A. Journalism, English) and ventured to Chicago shortly after to write full-time and get away from cornfields for a while.

She has also written for the online magazine UPchicago.com.

Oh...and like any true Hoosier, her day-to-day mood from mid-October through March is dependent on the success/failure of the IU men's basketball team. Throw the red brick!!!
