About the author

Cindy is a member of Sisters in Crime and a graduate of Hal Croasmun's screenwriting ProSeries. Her interviews with writers of CSI and Flashpoint appeared in The Rewrit, the Scriptscene newsletter, the screenwriting Chapter of RWA. She writes screenplays, thrillers, and paranormals, occasionally exploring an erotic twist. A background in banking and IT doesn't allow much in the way of excitement so she turns to writing stories that are a little dark and usually have a dead body. She lives in Ontario, Canada with her husband and their cat. When she's not writing you can usually find her painting landscapes in oil or trying space paintings with spray paint.

Reviews

[Amy Dryden · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nefarious North is a collection of crime short stories from 16 different authors. I found each one gripping, full of twists and turns. However, the real strength to this (and all) collections was the variety of the stories told within the collection. Some had elements of fantasy, such as shapeshifts, she-devils and ghosts. Others had hints of romance, others sorrow, while others still were more chilling thrillers. They all had interesting and diverse characters with stories needing to be told. For any fan of suspense, crime or thrillers, this is a must- have for your collection.
