Mary Ann Cherry

We are honored to Welcome Mary Ann Cherry as our Guest Author! Come and meet her and get your autographed copies of her books!!

Award winning mystery author, Mary Ann Cherry, is a professional artist, much like her book heroine, Jessie O’Bourne, and was raised in rural Montana in an area similar to the fictitious town of Sage Bluff within her novel. Cherry now lives in rural Idaho with her husband and several pudgy cats.

When Cherry isn’t writing, she travels to art shows, where she exhibits her paintings professionally and takes part in ‘quick draws’, producing a painting in about an hour’s time from start to finish. Her work is in the permanent collection of several art museums, and she is a Master Signature member of the Women Artists of the West.

Usually you can find her painting in her home studio, or writing at a desk situated on an upper floor landing—one that affords a lovely view of a grassy yard and lush golden willow tree during the summer and the flower beds that are not getting weeded while she is putting down words. Luckily, the view is only frost covered branches and snow during those cold Idaho winters. Wherever she is working, the coffee pot is always on and the brew is of the good strong Norwegian variety that holds up the spoon.

Currently, Cherry is working on her third Jessie O’Bourne art mystery.
