Cheryl Cooper

This year will mark Cheryl's 13th Muskoka Novel Marathon! Her first commercially-published novel, Come Looking for Me (Blue Butterfly Books, 2010), set on the Atlantic Ocean during the War of 1812, had its beginnings in the 2004 marathon. Her sequels, Second Summer of War and Run Red with Blood were released by Dundurn Press in 2014 and 2018 respectively. In October of 2025, Blue Butterfly Books released her fourth novel in the same series, Beyond the Pale Horizon. She hopes to begin writing the last book in the series at this year's novel marathon. When Cheryl is not at her writing desk, she is either on the road speaking, reading historical fiction, visiting her sons in Texas or cruising the high seas.
