About the author

Prolific author Cynthia MacGregor has had 54 (at last count!) books published conventionally and another over-50 published as e-books. A full-time freelance writer/editor, she works from a home office In Palm Springs FL, just outside West Palm Beach, where she writes books, ghostwrites books for others, writes “almost anything if the price is right” (web copy, catalog copy, advertisements, business materials, and lots more), and edits books, magazines, websites, and “whatever else needs editing.”

She loves writing so much that it’s even one of her hobbies. For example, she writes all the plays produced by the Palm Springs Players, a South Florida community theatre group, for which she gets “no money but lots of enjoyment.” She also enjoys wordplay with an online punsters group, PUNY, and when possible travels to the annual O. Henry World Championship Pun-Off, a wordplay event held every May in Austin, TX, where she has appeared some years as a competitor and other years as a judge.

Cynthia is site owner of both www.TheSoloParent.com and www.ThePublicApology.com and is producer and host of Solo Parenting, a weekly TV show seen in South Florida, whose audience is single parents, whether divorced, widowed, or never-married, custodial or visitational, moms or dads.

Loving her career, Cynthia believes herself truly blessed and says, “There is no one in the world whom I’d want to trade lives with.”

I learned nothing from this book. Granted, I am a tradition-rich Mom, but I learned nothing new and didn't get a single inspiration from this book.
