IveyAndTheAirship

Cheryl Ammeter grew up on a farm in Iowa and graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a BA in Theatre before moving to Dallas. As an actress she performed in plays, shot commercials, did print modeling, and worked on several Texas films, but it was her talent as a voice actor that led to a career in writing. In 1997 she became one of the original Radio Disney voice actors and writers. Her script work included the Magic Kids’ Theatre radio plays and she was the sole writer, co-director, and voice of Barbie’s mom in Generation Girl Theater, a series of radio plays based on the Barbie® Golden Books for Mattel. She went on to write seven seasons of HIT Entertainment’s globally acclaimed, Barney & Friends, where she won awards from Parenting Magazine and Parent’s Choice. She also helped HIT re-tool Angelina Ballerina into a 3D animation to keep it on the air. She owns Pantala Press, an indie company specializing in YA sci-fi fantasy novels. Ivey and the Airship is the first in her five novel series called Aether’s Edge, which strives to empower young women to follow their dreams and build healthy relationships. Cheryl currently lives in San Francisco and is at work on the second book in her series, Master of the Manor.
