Cheryl Johnson has developed quite a following as a wildlife photographer working under the pseudonym "Backyard Bird Nerd." Her photos have been featured in magazines, websites, and art galleries. As the owner of an advertising agency, writing has always been a part of her life and career. Her literary work has included producing text for websites, brochures, television and radio commercials, and a variety of magazines articles. Delving into the world of children's literature has been an exciting and challenging adventure, and pairing these books with her love of photography has proven to be the perfect outlet for her passions and talents. When not prowling around in nature looking for something to "fly" by her lens, she lives in South Texas with her husband, two daughters, and dog.
