I love Abouna Panak’s hat- it would make an impact in any fashion show. \your story is becomomg more mysterious-more intriquing.

  Abouna loves his hat too, he likes dressing up Thanks Kenny!

Hi Cheryl! I love it that what we see in the illustrations is the “socialite” side of the story, while the horror resides in the text. You’ve worked some powerful magic with that juxtaposition. Very deft. I’ve said this before, but I’m totally hooked!

  Hi Richard, thank you, yes I was careful to keep to that perspective, for people to see Heyem’s horror and that she fully (finally) realises what Alexand has been through.

Your illustrations are as expressive as the stories and the two echo each other!

I agree with MM. The “closeup” of Heyem is especially compelling.

  Hi Bill, I’m glad, as I wanted to show a different side to Heyem. Thank you

Hi Cheryl. So glad you liked my poem ‘The Foxes Gathered’. Take Care. The Foureyed Poet.

Reading this had the same feeling as watching a silent movie. I loved it.

  Hi Taninja, you have a very interesting blog, I can imagine thai boxing takes a lot of discipline and hard work. I have family who live near Cork, one of the most beautiful places in Ireland. Thanks for finding your way here, I’m glad you like the stories. Good to meet you. Cheryl

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
