The answer to both is Christian mystery and suspense with a little horror thrown in from time to time. I guess writing is sort of like eating.

A Warm Welcome to Cynthia Hickey   Hi Cynthia, thanks for sharing the story behind your writing! Cynthia will give away a print copy of  In a Texas Ranger's Arms WHY I BECAME A WRITER Funny how this roller-coaster business can tug on someone until it’s either write or die. A bit dramatic, yes, but that’s how most writers feel. I started reading at the young age of five and became hooked on words and stories. Being a shy child, I would make up stories to act out, but it wasn’t until Junior High and an English teacher assigned a writing project that I realized how much I loved putting the story to paper. I began writing short stories in which my younger brother was featured as the hero or I’d write a romance featuring me and whatever boy I had a crush on at the time.

To enter to win leave a comment and an e-mail address below.   It's such a treat to have you, Nancy. First, tell us a little about yourself. I’m a wife, mother, and about sixteen months ago, I became a grandmother. This was definitely one of the greatest blessings of my life! I live with my husband, Norman, in Festus, Missouri. We moved here from Wichita, Kansas, eight months ago so we could be near our kids and grandchild. Norman works with a wonderful agency that trains people with disabilities for jobs. I’m grateful to be a full-time writer. I’ve written eighteen books, two of which haven’t been released yet. They are all either mystery, suspense, or a combination of the two. Besides reading and spending time with my family, I like to relax with a few favorite TV shows. I also enjoy playing wit
