Welcome to My Web Site!
Some of you may already know me as the irrepressible and sometimes irreverent Aunty Cindy from Facebook or my own blog, Aunty Cindy Explains It All. If so, thanks for visiting. If you are a newcomer, thanks even more. You might already know that my two great passions are travel and writing. To date, I’ve visited 47 states and 32 countries. Here I am eating beignets at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans.
This is the spot where I showcase my personal writing and share information about my books and stories. I enjoy books in many different sub-genres, but currently I am writing contemporary romantic suspense with paranormal elements.
A native Californian and life-long avid reader, I write the kinds of stories I like to read – stories with danger, romance and a touch of the unexpected. I like to read and write about wonderful, far away places and people not so very different from me or someone I know. My characters must overcome physical and emotional obstacles, sometimes risk their lives, and eventually discover love.
Always love.
Basically, I’m a romantic at heart and there’s nothing I find more satisfying than two people achieving their own happily-ever-after. I believe that you, my readers, feel the same.
