Cheri Schmidt writes fantasy/paranormal romance and is the author of Fateful, Fractured, Forever, and The Order of Curse-Bound Knights.

Cheri will say that her head is a very crowded place, and she wishes she could write faster. She will also tell you that if you do not like glittering fairies, hot vampires with British accents, knights in shining armor, the dashing Mr. Darcy, girly-girls who wear skirts, or large amounts of snogging, then perhaps her stories are not for you.

She is also now on BookTube (YouTube)

Popular Answered Questions

I just finished reading your "Fair Maiden". I was wondering if you'd consider writing a stand-alone sequel for Emma, possibly with Tristan? The second part of the epilogue really got me interested in that possibility, plus - I would love to get a chance to meet these characters again through a different point of view :)

I am sooo glad you feel this way, because I am actually writing Emma and Tristan's story right now! It's titled The Trapping Club. Although I don't have a release date just yet. And after The Trapping Club will be Peter's story. I was planning to do a trilogy for this series. I'll keep you posted. ;)

Thanks so much for contacting me!

All my best,
Cheri

PS: While you wait, you could checkout Fateful if you want. The story is very different, but both heroes (Christian and Ethan) are both from the Victorian era.(less)

This is Max and Nadia's story and will be released near the end of the month.

I'm also reviewing chapters for the audiobook of Fractured. This should also be released very soon. I'm excited to get this one out because the narrator is fabulous.

Then I'll be writing The Trapping Club, book two to Fair Maiden, and my first nonfiction.(less)

“Yes, Max is very hot.” “Excuse me?” She laughed. “He’s the knight, and you’re the noble gentleman, silly. You’re both hotties.” Ethan snorted with a laugh. “On with the tour you noble hotty you.” “You’re a funny girl, but also quite hot.” “Thanks.” Ethan”

Hi Christine,
