and the Author is….

Cindy Miles!!!!

I discovered Cindy Miles about a year ago on one of my library jaunts. The cover of her book In Thin Air grabbed me. I then had to read all of her books, and became a fan. Her books take place in Scotland or Wales and have to do with knights trapped as ghosts or modern men haunted by ghosts, and their very determined and plucky American heroine’s. I knew that I wanted to introduce everyone one to Cindy so I emailed her a couple of months ago to see if she would be willing to let me interview her and spotlight her. As she is a busy woman and underlines it took her a while to get back to me, but she did and she agreed. I have had a great time getting to know her.

So to start off the month here is the my interview with Cindy….
