I can’t believe it’s been well over a month since I’ve written anything here. The good news, though, is that tonight I submitted the paperback interior and exterior files for review! It’s exciting, and it’s terrifying. In a few weeks, I’ll have a proof copy sitting in front of me, concrete proof of the work [...]

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 [...]

I have, though, been working hard, both in an actual OFFICE again, and also at finishing up What Lies Behind, [...]

That’s a legitimate question. I agonized for far too long, trying to decide what domain name to use for this website. Cynthia Hill dot com used to lead to a former Miss Universe’s website, which is most definitely NOT me, and now leads to someone asking $450 for the privilege of using that domain name. [...]
