Cindy Blackburn
is living the dream! She spends her days sitting around in her pajamas,
thinking up unlikely plot twists and ironing out the quirks and kinks of
lovable characters. In other words, Cindy's a writer.
When she's not
typing on her laptop or feeding her fat cat Betty, Cindy enjoys taking long
walks with her cute hubby John. A native Vermonter who hates snow, Cindy
divides her time between the south and the north. Most of the year you'll find
her in South Carolina. But come summer she'll be on the porch of her lakeside
shack in Vermont. Yep, it's a place very similar to Lake Elizabeth.
Cindy's favorite
travel destinations are all in Europe, her favorite TV show is The Big Bang
Theory, her favorite movie is Moonstruck, and her favorite color is orange.
Cindy dislikes vacuuming, traffic, and lima beans.
I’ve asked Cindy three
questions and I’m sure you’ll find her responses witty and humorous – just like
her books!
Patricia:
When
did you know that you wanted to be a
writer?
Cindy:
I
guess I’m both an early bloomer and a late bloomer. I’ve written since I was in
2nd grade and the teacher read my story about my pet hamster Hazel
to the class. But I didn’t get back into writing fiction until my mid 40’s. I had so much fun writing Playing With Poison, I was hooked!
Patricia:
If,
for some reason, you couldn’t be a
writer, what profession would you choose?
Cindy:
I
taught history for many years and enjoyed that. I’ve always thought it would be
fun to be a truck driver—a big old 18-wheeeler baby. I love long drives on
interstates. Yep, I’m nuts.
Patricia:
Do
you have a bucket list, things you still want to do and/or places you want to
visit?
The Cue Ball Mysteries:
Murder meets menopause. Take a guess which
wins.
Looking for a cozies with a little
romance, a lot of humor, and far too much champagne? Well then, meet former pool shark turned
romance author Jessie Hewitt. Jessie became the world’s funniest menopausal sleuth
the night she met homicide detective Wilson Rye. Over a dead body. On her
couch. Four murders solved, and believe
it or not, Jessie and Wilson are still talking to each other. Five
Spot is on the way this summer! In the meantime, be sure to catch up with Playing
With Poison, Double
Shot, Three
Odd Balls, and Four
Play.
The Cassie
Baxter Mysteries:
Small sleuth, tiny
town, unfailing fun.
Welcome to Lake
Elizabeth, Vermont, population 600, give or take the random livestock. Cassie Baxter never should have moved to such
a small town, and she certainly should have thought twice before moving in with
her father. But Cassie seldom thinks twice. Lucky you! Unbelievable is the first Cassie Baxter mystery, and please look
for Unexpected in early 2016!
