also published as historical novelist Cheryl Sawyer

Dear Readers,

Welcome, and greetings! It’s a pleasure to present my books to you. I’m the author of several historical novels published under my maiden name, Cheryl Sawyer. Click on Books in the menu to see more about them.

My latest novel is an historical thriller set in London between the English Civil Wars and the Restoration, when everyone was trying to work out how to govern England, and failing dismally. One of the casualties was democracy. Another was Colonel Thomas Rainsborough, England’s greatest hero for ‘one man, one vote’ and for sovereign, renewable parliaments. The mystery of his death, which has never been solved, was what prompted me to write the novel.

FAREWELL CAVALIERS (the working title) is a revenge story, a love story, and a political thriller. It is also a ghost story, the first I’ve written.

I’m pleased to say that Mir Knigi, who have released all my novels in Russia, continue to do well with LA CREOLE, my first book.

And LA CREOLE the stage opera/musical is being brilliantly developed by Nicholas Gentile and Julia Plummer, based on my script. Click here for an interview with Nicholas on You-Tube. Click here to hear him sing “Guy’s Lament” from Act One Scene Seven of La Créole.

Happy reading, and very best wishes,
Cheryl Hingley

My seventh novel is about Gabrielle-Emilie le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise du Châtelet. Here, I’m seated under her portrait in the Château de Breteuil, southwest of Paris.
