Antioch Traveling Closet holding winter giveaway Sunday

Meet the authors along the Chain On a cold winter day there is nothing more satisfying than bundling up in front of a freshly lit fire with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate, or glass of wine, at your side. Even more enjoyable is knowing that the author is a local writer who resides here on the Chain O’Lakes, perhaps a neighbor or friend. It is often said that the beauty of the water has a calming effect and encourages artistic and creative expressions. Perhaps that is why there are so many artists and writers found along the waterways. It seems there are a number of published authors currently residing in the area or who have made this area their home at some time. These authors have embraced a variety of writing genres so there is sure to be some of their works that are appealing to each reader. If you are looking for a historical novel, thriller, beautiful historical coffee table book, historical nonfiction work or self help book for teenagers there is at least one local author to please you. Here are a few local authors who have written interesting works that can be enjoyed when the cold days keep us indoors.

Cheryl Honigford Cheryl Honigford began her interest in writing while still in grade school. “My father would bring out an old Underwood typewriter and place it on the dining room table where I would pound out stories,” Honigford said. Today she spends her days working at Abbott Labs, then returns to her home in Antioch, where she is a wife and a mother. After all her work and family activities are completed, she retreats to her world of historical fiction “I love history, mystery and old time radio,” Honigford said. So it is not surprising that her three book series of historical fiction includes all of these elements. Set in the 1930s in Chicago, the stories include a historically accurate look at the city of Chicago in that era, a heroine who works in radio, a love interest and, of course, a murder. Completing these stories was a job that took a great deal of research. Her vivid description of the times, her intricate knowledge of the workings of old time radio, and her interesting characters, along with an interesting mystery will prevent the reader from putting down any of the books in this series. Honigford has completed
