Cheryl Snell is a poet and fiction writer, author of the new novel Bombay Trilogy. Her work has been published in Antietam Review, Comstock Review, Red River Review, The Inflectionist Review, and many other journals with "Review" in their names. She has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and the Best of the Net seven times.

Snell collaborates frequently with her sister, an expressionist artist, and one such collaboration, on game theory, won a chapbook competition. A trained pianist, Snell is happy to share a stage with her sister, on their art/word projects. "The flow and meaningful content made by a seasoned writer becomes even more seductive by the addition of expressionist paintings by Janet Snell. Rarely have poems been so well "illustrated"...as they are by the two Snells working in tandem." (Grady Harp, an Amazon Top Reviewer)

As for the new novel, the action is set against the same South Indian backdrop where Snell’s husband grew up, and where the fictional milieu depicted in her previous novels Shiva’s Arms, Rescuing Ranu, and Kalpavriksha grapple with modern variations on the theme of the meaning of home. During research for Bombay Trilogy, Snell absorbed the music and cultural customs, observed the festivals and fasts, but never did learn the language. However she credits her husband’s personal stories with facilitating her fluency in subtext.
