About
Cynthia has always had a passion for books. From a very young age, she knew that she wanted to grow up to be the person that got to read the books first. She has a special fondness for independent authors as she applauds the gumption to realize your dreams on your own. She is three classes away from a B.A. in English Literature from Grand Canyon University with a 3.60 GPA. She has had poems and articles published, but would rather edit than write. She has a personal blog where she reviews books, focusing on indie authors. She loves all genres of books, but if she had to pick a favorite or two she would pick paranormal and post-apocalyptic novels. She loves living in the worlds that authors create, even if only for a short time. Cynthia lives in Alabama with her husband and three rambunctious, but adorable, children ranging in age from one to eight. Her dream allows her to stay at home with her children, doing a job she loves, and being the mom she wants to be at the same time. She enjoys reading, spending time with her family, and pretending to enjoy Auburn Tiger football with her husband.
ASSISTANT REVIEWER BIO:
Hi, my name is Cassie Hoffman. I’m a wife and the mother of two kids, one boy one girl. I will be going back to school in September to further my career. I’m an avid reader. I read every day. If I don’t read, I feel off. I’m a book addict and a Facebook addict; without those two things I could go a little crazy. I live in a small town on a farm, yes a farm! Lol. My goal is to one day write a book. I’ve tried, but it just isn’t the time yet. It will come one day, I know it.
THIS IS AN AWARD-FREE BLOG! THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IF YOU NOMINATED ME. I JUST DO NOT HAVE TIME TO DO THEM. THANKS!

Hi,
I have written a 50,000 word contemporary novel and wondered if you would be able to be an editor for me? It is my first attempt at writing so I don’t know if it is any good and am not really sure how to progress….Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks, Marjolein x

Hi, Cynthia. Thanks for following my blog. I like the variety of material your blog offers, plus the giveaways. I shall be back for more, soon!
Wow, married with three kids, plus finding the time to major in English. I’m impressed. One day I’d like to get my masters in creative writing, but only once my two kids grow up a little. They are 4 and 2, and I must say quite a handful, I can’t imagine three, although I would have loved one more, but I’m just too damn tired. I look forward to reading your blog. Good luck.
Hi Nice Posts and thank you for the follow.
Peace & love, Sanoj
