Featured Interview With Lauri Cruver Cherian
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
My name is Lauri Cruver Cherian. I am a proud native of Gig Harbor, Washington. I’ve resided in Texas for three decades teaching ESL to adults and children. I became an author in 2022 publishing my first book of poetry about growing up on the beach, my second book is about becoming brave. I’m about to publish my first children’s chapter book. I have a dog, Gracie. She sits beside me in her chair as I write.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
On the school bus in 3rd grade, my friend, Jenny and I used to share books. I started writing poetry in high school but didn’t pick it up again until COVID.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
As an elementary school teacher, I have loved Richard Scary, Jan Brett, Arnold Lobel and Maurice Sendak to name just a few of the classics. I enjoy historical fiction and just finished writing a book. I am inspired by relationships, family history, and by nature.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
I just published Brave as Thistles; it is a beautiful poignant book of poetry about becoming brave through the speed bumps in life. Look for my children’s chapter book, Four Anxious Armadillos coming this next month.
