About the Characters
The blurb for Unbound Boxes Limping Gods
(Set in 4041, the first book begins on Christmas Island, Japan.) Alexand Merek is a woman who treasures "Bad Things," and delights in music. She has done something stupid, placing those she loves in danger. Women like her are not welcome in the ordinary world, where women who play piano and dance with wives are placed into, "The Bad Thing Box." Alexand must fight to bring her lost family back together to save them from an unimaginable fate. (If you would like to see this book published, please press the follow button. The writer gives life to a story, but the reader keeps it alive.)This is for you Dad.
My stories and my world are dedicated to you, Dad. You died before I was old enough to know who you were. I will try to find you in my stories, to go to places far away from this world, to search for you. Maybe one day I'll know you again. Until then I'll keep writing. I'll never forget you.

You are very welcome to leave comments. I would love to hear what you think of the stories and characters. Your constructive criticism is very much appreciated and very rarely put in my spam box! Thank you for reading. Cheryl





















































I’m not sure how you found my blog THE PORTAL OF LIGHT and its entry, HOW LIGHTCHILDREN LOVE 01, but thank you for visiting it and liking it. I think if my chief protagonist visited your fictional timeline, he’d find it pretty dystopian – and he’d make himself a “nuisance” in a hurry seeking to straighten it out. For him, hope is no delusion – it’s one of the pillars of his life and something that has never failed him. It’s those who’ve robbed others of hope that would have something truly to fear in Alain Harper the Undying Singer.
Cheers.
Oh – and thank you for following my blog too.
I have been here for an hour or more. Reading…
Thank you for visiting me today! ~ Lynda
My characters would welcome a bit of hope and order! Alain Harper would fit in well. Welcome and thank you for taking time to read, John, I appreciate it. I’ll be stopping by your blog to read more stories.
Thanks, Lynda for taking so much time to read the stories. It means a lot to me that you enjoyed them enough to stay. (I love your geese, BTW. My son practically lived on farms when he was younger) Cheryl
Thanks for Following The Dark Globe
DarkJade-
Thank you very much for your visit on my blog !
I will follow your blog from now on! I think you have an amazing talent! Wonderful pictures!
Best wishes, Tanja
The pictures are really amazing!
Thank you, and likewise!
Nice writing skills, good illustrations! Thank you for following my blog too! I can’t remember whether i posted a suggestion of mine at your blog, if I did and forgot, please sorry… I usually post it at any blog, site I like…
Do you use sites like zazzle.com, cafepress. com, fiverr? They could be a good way to promote your works and to help “remove” stupidity in the streets like headlines on t-shirts, fridge-magnets, cups, etc: My Boyfriend kisses Better Than Yours, FBI – female body inspector, etc. Not everything we see and think of should be about sex, right? It would be much better if there were more nice pictures of mythical creatures, good thoughts, poems from fantasy genre, etc? I’m allanbard there, I use some of my illustrations, thoughts, poems from my books (like: One can fight money only with money, Even in the hottest fire there’s a bit of water, All the problems in the world lead to one – narrow-minded people, or
Let’s watch the moon, let’s meet the sun!
Let’s hear soon the way the Deed was done!
Let’s listen to the music the shiny crystals played,
let’s welcome crowds of creatures good and great…
etc). Hope anyone could appreciate such lines much more than the usual we see every day? Best wishes! Let the wonderful noise of the sea always sounds in your ears! (a greeting of the water dragons’ hunters – my Tale Of The Rock Pieces).
Hi, Ivan! Good to see you on WP and thank you! Cheryl
Cheryl, Thanks for visiting my writing blog. Btw, I enjoyed the artwork at the top of your blog. Does it have a title? An artist?
Hi, Joy, welcome and thank you! The art is mine. I can’t stop drawing my characters!
Cheryl, Oh, wow! I’m impressed. I know enough not to assume anything, but I wondered. Your characters–cool! (I’m not even sure what my characters look like.)
Thank you for finding me, here’s to shared enjoyment and challenge!
I really enjoyed reading this, thank your for following me and I look forward to reading your future posts!
Hi, Soraya, likewise and thank you! I read The Bridge, and other poems, you have a very interesting blog, some great poems, and people should go and check out your writing. I’m looking forward to your future posts. Good to meet you. Cheryl

I just love your character illustrations. Each one an individual with purpose; sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes hiding something. Thanks for following my blog. Your writing looks very interesting. 4041 on Christmas Island and owned by Japan yet? You have me hooked! Wally

Hi Cheryl! Thanks for following my blog…I love what you are doing here with your blog. It’s very inspirational. Drawing your own characters must bring you that much closer to them, very good work!
Hi, thank you. What a fantastic location for an artist. I think I’m going to move to Wisconsin! Yes, drawing them only makes me want to write about them more lol, it’s addictive. I love the Nkisi sculpture. Good to meet you! Cheryl
I say Aye, this one’s terrific! Loving your blog, Cheryl!
Thank you, Cynthia, I’m glad. (Our subject matter is so different, yours is uplifting and hopeful and inspiring, and mine is well, possibly the opposite of all of those things lol)
I love your worlds, your people and your illustrations. You seem like a woman unbound.
Thank you, Valerie, I appreciate it. You have some valuable advice for writers on your blog.
Wonderful in depth post

Hi Abhishek, good to meet you, and thank you too! I really like the design of your site. How did you get the balloons to move independently of the background? I’m looking forward to reading more of your posts!
Well about the theme I didn’t design it I’m a mere user. It was designed by the exquisite Chris Magiera you can get the theme from here: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/balloons/?like=1&_wpnonce=04cb7e807a
More posts coming right up stay tuned, expecting the same from you btw how did you drew those caricatures I just love your art!
Thanks, it’s a very cool theme! Glad you like the stories. As for the art, I’ve been drawing the characters for a while now. Just can’t stop lol!
Yeah don’t stop keep them flowing, those are some distinct shades of your talent
Thank you!
