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























































Oh This great, Cheryl! The story is almost Orwellian in nature. LOVE IT!
Glad you like it Mark! Thanks again for your encouragement, I appreciate it.
I got a bit lost in it–my fault, no doubt. I love your style of writing and your graphics as usual.
Hi Kenny, thanks for taking the time to read, I hope it’ll become clearer in the next few issues? Glad you like this longer story form. There’s a few more issues in this thread, and then I return to some shorter stories. Cheryl
Cheryl – I am constantly amazed and inspired by your art and writing – you are the best…
That means a lot to me, John, thank you.
Hello! Thanks for visiting and following my blog. your stories look intriguing and I m enjoying having a look round.
Hi Birdie, thank you. BTW I love your paintings, I’ve added you as a flickr contact so I can have a look at all your work. Good to meet you! Cheryl
We stumble upon many websites, blogs and articles on our daily journey through cyberspace. Every now and then you land on gem – something special that makes you go “WOW” and it draws you in immediately. That is not easy to achieve – but my dear Cheryl you are that person, this is one of those blogs!! – Love the style, the images, and way you communicate.
You have a genre of your own I think – very creative. Well done and thanks
Hi Percy, thank you, I’m glad you like what you’ve read! Thanks so much for your encouragement and kind words, it means a lot to me as a writer. Cheryl
Excellent, excellent, excellent. Thanks, Cheryl. I love a good story.
Hi Erik, thank you, it’s good to meet you. Cheryl
Hi Cheryl! Things are really hotting up! Looking forward to next week’s issue. By the way, I love the tech in your stories – it seems effortlessly woven into the fabric of your world, just as it is in ours. And Abouna is such an interesting character – there’s real depth here.
Hi Richard, thank you! Their world is as real to me as this one (or more real maybe) so I’m glad the technology translates smoothly. I’m glad to finally get the opportunity to introduce Abouna Panak to you in more depth as he is one of the fundamental characters which binds the world together, in the novels that is. He’s very complicated to me too, and I’m still trying to work him out. Having known him for a good few decades of my own life, he’s a tricky character to fathom.
Brilliant Cheryl, every bit just draws the reader in more and more. Need to see the next bit now.
Hi Shehanne, glad you like it
I wish I could post this series one after the next, as that was a thought before I started this, although I’d probably give myself an RSI trying to draw the whole lot in one go, (which is why I decided to post them each week) I wish I could draw faster though! Thanks for reading, as always it’s very much appreciated. Cheryl
O’Cheryl…grand is you.
