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

Recently, I had a bit of inspiration that changed Fear and Fortitude quite a bit. Not only the plot, but also my characters' motivation changed (for the better). Luckily, these changes didn't mean a lot of re-writing for my manuscript, just a bit of a change to the beginning, and some short scenes throughout.
Basically, I did another read-through to alter those scenes, and now I'm back to writing with a stronger purpose for my characters. I'm very excited to be back at it! Current word count: 39,388. 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 son'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!
