Take a solitary journey by looking back (Short Story) - 8/15/2008 8:57:14 PM
Great piece, Cheryl. I look at those stairs and I immediately envision myself on the 4th or 5th step. A good start, but a long way to go. That pretty much sums up how I feel. Not such a bad place to be!

Depression & Suicide: Help those in need step Out of the Darkness (Article) - 1/21/2009 4:00:39 PM
I appreciate your article. I, too have suffered from this horrible plague! In times past, I couldn't understand why anyone would want to end their own life. But in 1998, this plague of depression carried me down to the pit. After losing weight down to 98lbs,I knew I needed some help. So many people either give in to the pain or the medications don't work. I'm thankful that they have worked for me. I never want to walk that way again! KJ Jacobs

Is the end of the world coming for the book industry? (Article) - 9/19/2008 4:41:39 PM
Great article, Cheryl. I don't think it's the end of the world at all, but a changing world; one that's been changing for at least fifteen years already. If bookstores are suffering it's because online retailers are doing better than they were ten years ago. And I agree, online promotion is far more viable than travelling all over the country at the author's expense. And just for the record, I'd take a smaller advance too!!

TV's hit show Medium redeems itself (Article) - 4/12/2008 12:54:33 PM
I enjoy Medium, though I do wish the series more closely matched the real medium's style; that is, being able to focus in on a case at will rather than waiting for random dreams. And then, too, when she stopped talking to the dead, she really wasn't a medium any more. Oh well, cool series! Anjelica made for a nice character with a surprise conclusion to her tenure on the show.

Why doesn't every bookstore carry my books? (Article) - 2/13/2008 5:16:13 PM
This was a very informative article. You have opened my eyes to something I did not know existed. I wonder what the difference is between someone who self-publishes vs. a published author if the published author has to market the book as much as a self-published author would? Very interesting. Thank you.

It is really sad and also frightening. It seems to happen everywhere. It also seems that people are reading less book. Best wishes. Willie

Beauitful and inspiring. May Sotera rest with the angels and watch over us always. Death is hard in many ways, but we have to know in our hearts, that we will meet again in heaven. She is in The Lord's arms... what better place could she be?! My prayers are with the family. Thank you Cheryl for such a wonderful tribute.

some people leave impressions in our world like footprints on a sandy beach...sotera obviously was a person who touched the lives of many...who mattered much to those she loved and who loved her...this poem is proof enough of that.
