Husband and wife team, David Strange and Nancy Vogl, are the founders of Cherry Tree Press. When one of David and Nancy’s grandsons was born, they searched in vain for an illustrated children’s storybook featuring motorcycles. When they couldn’t find one, David said to Nancy, “Honey, you should just write one.” Thus, with the publication of Why Grandpa Rides a Harley, to the enthusiastic reception of thousands of Harley riders, their little publishing company was born.

David is a retired builder of geodesic dome homes whose passion is touring the countryside, whether it be through long stretches of desert, along the shore, or deep into the Canadian Rockies.

Nancy is a professional speaker, writer and coauthor of the children’s book Am I a Color Too? and Chicken Soup for the Single Parent’s Soul, from the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul® series. Nancy’s great thrill is spending time with family, especially her grandchildren. She continues to work on other writing projects, including a screenplay, and is always dreaming up something new to pursue.

David and Nancy live in beautiful northern Michigan, and together they have ten children and ten grandchildren…with the expectation of many more little “readers” to come.
