Official biography of Canadian suspense author Cheryl Kaye Tardif:


CANADIAN SUSPENSE WITH A KILLER TWIST

Booklist raves, “Tardif, already a big hit in Canada…a name to reckon with south of the border.”

Cheryl Kaye Tardif is a Canadian suspense author who enthusiastically tackles sensitive questions and terrifying scenarios that most people don’t like to even think about. From psychic investigators, abuse in the foster care system, serial killers, fountain of youth serums, nanotechnology, conspiracies, bullying, racism, assisted suicide, child abductions, sexual assault, alcoholism, drug addiction, mind control and more, she delves into the human psyche and picks at our worst fears.

Cheryl’s published novels include:
Whale Song (2007)
The River
Divine Intervention
• Whale Song (2003 out of print first edition)


Cheryl has completed her next novel, Children of the Fog, a chilling novel that is part suspense and part horror. Children of the Fog explores a parent's worse nightmare. 'You have ten seconds to make a decision: let a madman take your child, or watch your son die. Choose!'

She is now working on Divine Justice, the second in the Divine mystery series, and she is working on a nonfiction book for parents who are grieving the loss of a child.

In 2008, Cheryl signed with agent Jack Scovil at Scovil Galen Ghosh Literary Agency, a respected New York agency.

Born in Vancouver, BC, Canada, Cheryl Kaye Tardif was a 'military brat' and a ‘military wife' who has lived all across Canada and in Bermuda. She now resides in Edmonton, Alberta, with her husband Marc, her daughter Jessica and the family dog.

“Cheryl Kaye Tardif specializes in mile-a-minute pot-boiler mysteries.” --Edmonton Sun
