Cheryl van Gent is a self-published author who graduated high school at the age of 16 in 2020 and graduated from college in 2024. Alongside writing, she works full-time in a veterinary clinic.
Raised in the Netherlands, she mastered English as her second language. Being born in the Netherlands has never stopped her from learning English fluently; in fact, she prefers it.
Creating stories has been something she loved since she was in middle school. Her interest in reading didn't spark until she read her first romance series in 2020 and continued buying more to fill up a newly bought bookcase, evolving into writing a book in 2021 and publishing in 2022.
She's immensely proud of the first duology she has published and loves continuously refining

I never got a notification about the question, I'm so sorry! But here's my answer :)
When searching for inspiration, I read books in the same genre I'm writing. In my fantasy books, Sarah J Maas and Holly Black have helped inspire me so much!! Not in the way where I copy their work, obviously, but inspiration sparks for my own stories when reading those books.

When I write contemporary romance, I take loads of things that happened out of my own life, either between the MCs (so mainly boys, lol) or people's backstories (family life, interests, friendships, etc!) In general, I don't think a few specific authors have inspired me to write these books, but more like a lot of them! Because I love reading romance and drawing inspiration from these books.
It also helps me improve my own writing! <3(less)

“Grief feels like an open wound for a long time. There will always be a scar. But someday I'll treat it as a reminder of my love.”
Cheryl van Gent, The Secrets of the Isle

“I know this was the right decision and that’s allowed to hurt me a little, and to be afraid too. It all just means that there’s something worth being afraid of. Something worth losing.”
Cheryl van Gent, The Secrets of the Isle

“I love how new books smell, but old ones smell even better. They have a story to tell differently and rawer than new ones.”
Cheryl van Gent, The Secrets of the Isle

“Sometimes I wonder if there are humans out there who believe. Everyone is so close-minded, but if I was a full-blooded human, I think I'd believe. For the sake of knowing there's more out there and more to discover, I'd believe.”
Cheryl van Gent

“Grief feels like an open wound for a long time. There will always be a scar. But someday I'll treat it as a reminder of my love.”
Cheryl van Gent, The Secrets of the Isle

“All those million stars lighting up my room or shining down on us. They're so far away but they can make me feel some happiness. I guess it reminds me that no matter how big my problems are, it's nothing compared to what's out there.”
Cheryl van Gent, The Secrets of the Isle

“Show your enemy you're afraid, and you've already lost.”
Cheryl van Gent, The Secrets of the Isle

“When I was younger, I always believed this forest to be magical." - Stella Santoro”
