Cyndi didn’t start out life as a mystery writer. But one day something unexpected happened—she became a woman of a certain age.

“What in the world are you waiting for?” said the voice in her head as she woke up on her fiftieth birthday. “That novel isn’t going to write itself! And YOU, sweet pea, are NOT getting any younger.”
So, after years spent as a naturalist on the north Oregon coast and PNW garden speaker, Cyndi dusted off her old Comm degree, left technical writing behind and got to work on short stories, flash fiction, and personal essays. But in secret she tapped away on her first mystery novel, Deadly Yours.

Doing something else normally does the trick. I go for a walk, read someone else's book, or start on a different story. That's what I'm doing today. One story isn't working, so I'm going to work on a different idea. I also try not to beat myself up if the writing doesn't go well for a few days or even a few weeks. It's now my job, so I show up at the page whether I feel like it or not. (less)

Once my book releases, I'm guessing I'll be adding talking to readers as a "best thing" too. Can't wait to get out there and meet other mystery fans.(less)

Mighty Books Podcast

Podcast Listeners: Here is my (gulp) very first interview with Ryan Oliver and Mighty Books Podcast & MORE about the writing life and my mystery novel, Deadly Yours. I'll just say, it's not easy hearing your own voice, so I've only been brave enough to listen to the first few minutes (so far), but Ryan is a great interviewer and I trust he has edited out any of my big blunders. 😜 ☺️ Thanks Ryan!
