New York Times bestselling co-author of Soul Surfer, Sheryl Berk was the founding editor-in-chief of Life & Style Weekly as well as a contributor to InStyle, Martha Stewart, and other publications. She has written dozens of books with celebrities including Britney Spears, Tia Mowry, Whitney Port, and JWOWW. Her nine-year-old daughter, Carrie Berk, a cupcake connoisseur and blogger, cooked up the idea for the PLC series in second grade. Together, they have invented dozens of crazy cupcakes recipes in their NYC kitchen (can you say “Purple Velvet”?) and have the frosting stains on the ceiling to prove it. They love writing together and have many more adventures in store for the PLC girls!
