As the PillsAre Passed

Ponesha Cherrie is an author whose love for storytelling began early—she wrote her very first book at just eight years old. Driven by a passion for words, Ponesha earned a degree in journalism, always knowing that writing would be central to her life.

Yet her journey took her on a remarkable path through social work and, ultimately, into the world of nursing. With over a decade of experience as a nurse, Ponesha has worked in both hospital and nursing home settings, specializing in geriatric and acute care.

Her days have been filled with unforgettable moments—offering comfort to patients and families, navigating the fast-paced demands of acute care, and building deep, meaningful relationships with her colleagues. Through the heartbreaks and triumphs, she's learned that nursing is as much about compassion and resilience as it is about clinical skill.

Whether she's drawing from a poignant moment at a patient's bedside or the camaraderie of a night shift team, Ponesha crafts medical dramas and romances that resonate with readers and shine a light on the real lives behind the scrubs.
