Cynthia, welcome to Writers on
Reading! With so many titles to your name it seems you’ve written almost every
genre, but one abiding theme remains consistent: romance! So… I’m betting you
read romance too. But I’d love to know if you find one theme more repeatedly
snags your attention as a read? Is there something special you seek when
selecting your next reading adventure?
I absolutely
love romantic suspense. I love men who are real men, although flawed, and a
story where true love is found regardless of danger.
Sounds like great reading to me! As a writer, you should know better,
but as a reader, you know we all do it…so, when did you last “judge a book by
the cover”? How did it work out?
If I don’t
like the cover, I don’t pick up the book. If I do like the cover, I read the
blurb, then flip through the pages to make my decision.
I think we all do that. Fun to hear you do too. Having published so many books do you find
time to read during the months you spend writing or with deadlines ahead is it
either/or for you? If so, what did you read while working on your last book? If
not, what did you read when you finished this one?
I read every
night before going to bed. To me…reading is as important as writing. The latest
book I’m reading is a cozy mystery as I mentally prepare myself to write my
final
It looks like such a fun series! Did
a book recently make you laugh/cry/sigh/shiver?
Staying true
to my favorite genre, the last book that really made me gasp and recommend to
others who like suspense was This Time
You Lose by Chris Stralyn. On a sweeter note, I read everything Karen
Witemeyer writes. She makes me laugh.
Hah! She is a hoot, no denying that! Were
you the kind of kid/teen who loved reading?
Which novel
do you first remember reading? The Black Stallion was my all time favorite. I
have a signed letter and photograph from Walter Farley. After that, I owned the
entire Nancy Drew series
After the interviews I've done, I think can say we all loved Nancy Drew---especially the suspense writers. With a cozy fall coming up, what is on
your to-read list? And what is your ideal autumn reading experience?
I love curling
up on the sofa, good book in hand, diet coke nearby, and silence to read.
Is
there a book you are looking forward to rereading?
I have read
all of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series multiple times. Not inspirational, but
her characters are the best I’ve read.
If
heroine in your Nosy Neighbor series were to pick a book from today’s shelves,
what do you think it would be?
My
Nosy Neighbor, heroine, Stormi Nelson, would be sure to pick up anything by
James Patterson. Especially his Michael Bennett series.
How fun! Thanks so much for visiting and
letting us get to know you better as a reader, Cynthia! Folks, you can continue
