Cindy Miles (edit name/settings)

For those of you who aren’t familiar with me and my journey to publication, here it is in a nutshell: After finishing nursing school, I finally had the time to start reading for fun again—something I hadn’t done since middle school! I happened upon an old romance novel stashed under the cabinet at work. I finished it, and thought I’d like to find another. So off to the bookstore I went and after a few readings I discovered I loved the paranormal genre. I’d never thought about writing a book, but years and years before I’d created a story to scare my younger cousins and sisters about this deserted, spooky old house close by. Years later I found myself in the local library where I overheard two middle school boys talking about that same house and the same story I’d made up! It didn’t take long before characters and stories began forming in my own head, and finally, I gave writing a try (I still have that first try, too!).



After seven years of writing, learning, honing the craft, submitting, coming close, getting rejected, and entering contests, I finally hit the turning point in my hopeful career: I found my fabulous agent. Less than a year later my first two-book deal was signed with NAL, where I continue to happily write the books and characters of my heart!

My stories are set in the breathtaking countries of the UK. You can check out the Gallery and see some of my favorite pictures taken in Scotland, England, and Wales (I’ve yet to visit Ireland but I plan to!) that have inspired my story settings.

I’d like to give a special thank you to everyone for their loyal readership, wonderful emails and kind words. I try to answer everyone personally and really—it’s what makes writing so much fun! I love hearing from readers so drop me a line from my Contact page!

So kick back and stay a while, check out all the new features, sign up for my Newsletter, read my Blog, check out my MySpace, scroll through the Gallery, and enjoy!

Until next time,
