About

Cheyenne Richards writes fiction from her floating home on the world's oceans, bringing firsthand sailing experience and a deep understanding of human resilience to every story. Her novels invite readers to rediscover their own capacity for adventure—be it small steps or big leaps.

After twenty years in Silicon Valley helping companies navigate digital transformation, Cheyenne decided to reinvent her own life. She sold her house, bought a sailboat, and set out to circumnavigate the globe—not because she was fearless (far from it), but because she refused to let fear write her story.

Now she draws on her experiences to create stories that remind us it's never too late to chart a new course, even if we're still figuring out which end is up.

When she's not writing or sailing, Cheyenne can be found running from spiders (yes, even tiny ones), getting lost on the way to the grocery store (thank goodness for GPS), and channeling her grandmother's legendary sailor-shaming vocabulary. Her greatest joy is connecting with readers who are discovering their own kind of brave.
