I’ve been blessed with some really amazing reviews lately, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t had the chance to share, and to say thank you! Reviews of What Lies Behind: “An enchanting novel about families, love, mistakes and redemption, What Lies Behind is a touching and heart-wrenching account of how love and hurt can shape your life.” [...]

Well… today was a day, wasn’t it? I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to say. I wasn’t on the cruise, I wasn’t at the party. I have absolutely NO first-hand knowledge of ANYTHING that happened, and I want to be very clear about that. I have no personal financial interest in [...]

So, with my new book (which is currently sort of titleless) out to the test readers, I need to start working on something else. On the spur of the moment, I’ve decided to hold a mini-contest to name the main character of my new work-in-progress.  Here’s the deal: a) The winner only gets to pick [...]

The Oscars have never been the same since they banned the presenters from saying that, have they? “And the Oscar goes to…” just doesn’t have the same ring. So what would I say here? “And the copy of Idol Hands goes to…” But none of you care about that, right? You just want to know [...]

I really do appreciate all of the support that I’ve gotten since I published Idol Hands last September. The reception has been better than I ever could have hoped for, and for that I thank you (and you, and you, and you, and you!) So to celebrate my 1,000th Twitter follower I’m doing a giveaway. Up [...]

I’d really like to thank all of the bloggers who have taken the time to read and review Idol Hands. This has all been such a fantastic experience, and everyone has been so kind! The first review came from Mama J Hearts Chick Lit: http://mamajheartschicklit.blogspot.ca/2012/03/idol-hands-by-cynthia-hill.html The next review, by Lindsey, at Your Need to Read, [...]

I admit it: I Googled myself. (Can you imagine how dirty that would’ve sounded ten or fifteen years ago?) I was looking to see if there were any new reviews of my book, and I came across a blog link that was mainly gobbledegook, but had a link to “Download Idol Hands.” It took me [...]

Last night I had a great time talking to Alex Crabtree of Extreme Writing Now. We talked about Idol Hands, of course, but a whole range of other subjects from the mosaic that is Toronto, to my obliviousness of the Oscar-nominated films. If you missed it, you can take a listen here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/extremewritingnow/2012/02/26/cynthia-hill-idol-hands

I am ALWAYS grateful for readers who take the time to review my book, whether it’s on Amazon, Smashwords, Goodreads, or any of the other places where people have bought the book, or on their own book review blog. Lately I’ve been truly blessed with some reviews that left me speechless (very hard to do!) [...]

Being a fan of an artist (or artists) who started out labelled as “teen idols” can be very isolating sometimes. Not everyone “gets it”, and for some reason those who don’t feel that it’s okay to mock not only the artist, but the fans. You constantly feel the need to defend not only them, but [...]
