Cheryl Etchison graduated from the University of Oklahoma's School of Journalism and began her career as an oil and gas reporter for a weekly business paper. Bored to tears and broke as hell, it wasn't long before she jumped ship and headed for the promise land of public relations. But that was a nearly a lifetime ago and she's traded in reporting the facts for making it all up as she goes. Currently, she lives in Austin, Texas with her husband and three girls.
