How I have loved my teaching years, so full of cultivating young writers, as well as enjoying opportunities for traveling to many places around the world.  In Canada, I taught English to young adults of different nationalities, and in Portugal the parents of my kindergarten class were missionaries which led me to an African safari.  In the southern part of Crete, I discovered an international poetry seminar and was enthralled.  As my teaching career of encouraging young writers wound to an end, I returned to the notion, always in the back of my mind, of writing my own book.  I retired in a tropical paradise with my sheltie pup Ricky, and tabby cat Lucy and did just that.  Self-publishing photos of my pets on Shutterfly, I wrote of them teaching life lessons to children.



Cheri Woods and Her Father


Recently, I have had the great joy of getting a peek into the lives of my parents as few children do.  Through my dad’s letters, I have been able to bring his thoughts and dreams as a young man to life in my own book which is very dear to my heart.
