Cheryl Carpinello
Cheryl Carpinello is a retired high school English teacher. Her Tales and Legends appeal to readers of all ages, particularly those who have struggled with reading. Through her 20+ years teaching diverse readers, she’s found that stories from the Ancient Worlds and Arthurian Legend draw in readers of all abilities.
She writes Arthurian Legend focused on these cornerstones: Courage, Honor, Loyalty, & Friendship. Her tales from Egypt & the new series Feathers of the Phoenix meld the ancient/medieval worlds with today. The Atlantean Horse and Under the Norse Star, books 1 &2 of Feathers of the Phoenix, brings the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse out of the Bible & into the modern world.
Her Grandma/Grandpa’s Tales, short illustrated nature stories, help the youngest readers build their reading skills. At the 2nd grade reading level, these stories are suitable for readers aged 4 and up.
She also does classroom & zoom visits where students can create their own Illuminated Poetry.
As retired teachers, Cheryl and her husband love to travel. They attend a college football games around the US each year and also travel abroad for fun and research. They’ve been to Egypt, the UK, Iceland, Norway, Mexico & the Caribbean.
About the Book:
Feathers of the Phoenix: The Atlantean Horse, Book 1
The day a stranger appears at Rosa’s door in the middle of a blizzard, she knows one thing for sure:
Her “normal” life is over.
Seventeen-year-old Rosa has spent two years trying to escape the terrifying gift she inherited, the ability to hear voices from beyond. But this visitor doesn’t come with ghost stories…
He comes with a mission.
Atlantis is rising.
And Rosa has been chosen to help bring it back.
Within weeks, she and her cousin Jerome are whisked from the Denver suburbs to a remote Greek island where an eerie break-in, a sunken city beneath the sea, and a furious stone statue known as the Atlantean Horse reveal an impossible truth: their family is tied to Atlantis itself.
To reunite a lost world, Rosa must recover the sacred Feathers of the Phoenix, before ruthless enemies reach them first.
Because once the hunt begins, there’s no turning back.
