By It’s been a while since I posted here. My apologies. It’s been a different couple of years. Petra moved out and then moved to Saskatoon to go to school. She’s going to be a massage therapist. She sounds like she’s having fun with her new fiance, Matt. They’re going to have a baby this spring, which makes Cheryl a gramma. Cheryl’s friend, Marilyn, babysits a 3-year-old who already calls Cheryl gramma. I suppose it’s better than “Hey, you!” I don’t think it’s really sunk in with Cheryl that her baby is going to have a baby. She finds the appellation “Gramma” amusing.
Cheryl’s got 3 books on the go with 3 already up for sale and a 4th just about ready to go. She’s starting a middle-grade novel about a real live dragon that lives just a few blocks away. Book 5 of the Der Reizen series still needs to be finished and the back cover of book 4 hasn’t been completed yet. Once that’s done, Book 4 will be put up for sale. She’s also still working on Rigger Mortis, the book about her time in the military. She didn’t keep a diary, so she’s got to think back about all the things she did in the military. It’s slow going, that one.
She’s working with the Prince Albert Writers’ Group on making an anthology. She’s found a place to print the books and not charge an arm and a leg. This is a good thing. She’s also volunteering at the local museum and enjoying the work. She took time off from the food bank to write and got bored, so she applied at the museum as a volunteer.
