Interests

  • General

    Writing, book signings, reading...oh, and did I mention WRITING? Seriously, I am a TV addict, especially crime shows. I am an avid CSI fan, who needs a fix of Medium, Survivor and Law & Order (all of them) not to mention a dose of: Conviction, Extreme Home Makeover (a 1 kleenex box show for me), Three Wishes (another box of Kleenex) and Hidden Palms. P.S. I truly enjoy my fans...all ages...and love answering email from readers.

  • Music

    I have a wide taste in music...I love pop, folk, country, jazz, EVERYTHING--even rap, and I especially our homegrown Edmonton talent such as Alexia Melnychuk and Kreesha Turner! One of my other favorite singer/songwriter/musician friends is the lovely, talented Julie Blue. One day in the near future Julie will be doing the film scores for one of my book-to-film movies! She is an awesome film composer and super friend. Julie Blue

  • Movies

    Whale Song--(2012?), based on my novel. I am hoping that my dream will come true. A respected US film producer is currently considering Whale Song for movie potential! Wish me luck!!

    Titanic, any Jackie Chan movie, The Unsaid, Lord of the Rings, and so many others!!!

  • Television

    See Interests! lol I am a TV junkie!! (when I'm not writing.)

THIS IS THE OFFICIAL PAGE FOR CHERYL KAYE TARDIF, BESTSELLING AUTHOR.


I am the author of four published novels: Whale Song (2003), Divine Intervention (2004), The River (2005) and Whale Song (2007), a revised special edition






"Tardif, already a big hit in Canada...a name to reckon with south of the border." --BOOKLIST

"Whale Song is deep and true, a compelling story of love and family and the mysteries of the human heart. Cheryl Kaye Tardif has written a beautiful, haunting novel." --Luanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author

*NEWS: Whale Song is in negotiations for a major motion picture and a 3rd print edition.

More reviews of Whale Song:

Fresh Fiction says: "Cheryl Kaye Tardif's novel, Whale Song, would be a tough act to follow for any written genre. In our lives, there are friends that come and go and some that touch our hearts for a lifetime. Since books are like friends, WHALE SONG is the later type. Ms. Tardif has the ability to reach beyond the compounds of the mind in order to penetrate into the heart. What an excellent read!"

To read the entire review, please go to FreshFiction.com.

"This is an amazing story, and one you'll want to read again and again. Cheryl Kaye Tardif skillfully weaves her tale of friendship, love, loss, pain and forgiveness...and just about the point when you think you have it all figured out, the author throws in a twist, and an ending well worthy of being called a grand finale. A short yet emotional read that may just move you to tears." --Amanda Richards, Amazon Top 100 Reviewer

Habitual Reader says: "Great "quiet" novel about self forgiveness." ..

I am currently working on 2 new novels.
