What's Cheri Doing?Here, I'll keep an updated account of where I am with my work.

The read-through/edit of Fear and Fortitude has taken a bit of a turn. As it happens, I made a mistake by putting a crucial scene in the book too early, which impacts everything after it. To fix this, I've printed out my manuscript, and I'm going to re-write the latter half before I continue writing where I left off before.
Phew! It's a bit of a gong show, but I'm pleased that it's going to get fixed, and it'll be something that I can be proud of. It's just taking a bit of time to get it fixed to how I like it. Current word count: 23,738 I've written a back-cover-blurb for it, and am putting it in the books section of this website, so if you're curious to know what it'll be about, it's there! |

I am excited, and extremely proud to announce that my first novel, Love's Misadventure, won First in Category for Historical Romance in the Women's Fiction and Romantic Fiction Chatelaine Book Awards in the Chanticleer International Book Awards for 2017! Two of my other novels, The Trouble With Love and Love and Deceit, were placed on the short list for the same award. |

I wrote a post for Scary Mommy about my 8 year-old's diagnosis with Tourette Syndrome. This is the link, for your reference.

From the author:
I am touched, honoured, humbled, and completely and utterly grateful to have such an amazing network in my life. My parents are endlessly proud and supportive, which pushes me to continue. My seriously spectacular publisher has been there to offer encouragement and insight, which makes me love being a part of their family all the more. My friends and RWA group are, of course, completely wonderful, and my husband and children are eternally patient with me.
The fact that I use words for a living notwithstanding, I can scarcely come up with those appropriate to describe my appreciation in its entirety. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
