I like your writing and illustrations. To have drawings of your characters must be a big help when writing stories.

  Hi, Janna, thank you. Your Full Moon story is very atmospheric, I really enjoyed reading it. Yes, I love drawing them, but it takes longer than I’d like! (The stories come first, then I work out the drawings later) It’s good to meet you. Cheryl

    Thank you for liking it. Do your short excerpts tie into something bigger or do they just stand on their own? I was thinking of maybe doing some prose on my blog and this would be something that I might like to do.
  - on June 24, 2012 at 6:17 pm cherylmoore
    
    No problem! The stories are based on characters from my unpublished manuscripts. I’m hoping to get them published one day, but it’s rewarding writing this way. I’d recommend it!

Cheryl, this is fascinating! I knew I was going to be stuck stalking your characters, from the second I laid eyes on Heyem. Her vapid ego centric gorgeousness is my brand of crazy. Thanks a lot! I should be working on my stuff. It is a deviation that I’m sure I will enjoy.

  Thank you, Heyem is flattered she has a stalker, it’s boosted her ego even more… btw The Lusting is an awesome poem, and people should go and read your work, you’re very talented. (Heyem says hi,)

What is this?

Unbound Boxes Limping Gods is the first in a series of speculative fiction manuscripts, for which I'm seeking publication. These short stories feature some of the characters in a time set before the novels.
So many stories! Where do I begin?

Go to the Story timelines tab at the top, and you can read all the stories in order of time. You'll find them gradually connecting together.

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. Cheryl
