AUTHOR’S BIO:
Cindy A. Christiansen
grew up enjoying writing, but it was after becoming chronically ill she began
writing her first novel to keep her mind active. Although it is challenging with
the cognitive problems her illnesses bring, she also finds writing cathartic.
She is joyfully married
with two wonderful Autistic children and two boisterous dogs. She is happily
working on another romantic suspense in West Jordan, Utah.
REVIEWS/QUOTES:
Legacy Of Lies: What did I really enjoy about this book? I really like the characters that grew and developed throughout the book. I liked the fact that they faced trials and problems like real people, and that they actually had weaknesses like real people. On a personal note I really enjoyed the small town setting that was masterfully represented giving the novel an even more realistic structure. Also the length of this book is just right. The author didn’t need to write an encyclopedia length book to give a great story.
Things that I didn’t like would actually end up as being a
part of the enjoyable aspects of the book. I hated characters that were so hard
headed. I wished that they would just grow up and realize what the real problem
they faced was. In a word this book is good. Overall well written and the start
of a promising career for Cindy A. Christiansen. I give it a rating of 4 out of
5. It is worth the read, especially for readers who don’t usually delve into the
Romantic Suspense category.
Legacy Of Lies: A true chronicling of the damage done by lies. The author shows the pain and suffering inflicted by people who fail to realize keeping secrets causes damage, both to the liar and to the lied to. A young woman with a uninformed past tries to find the father she believed abandoned her when she was a child. Katelynn Dobbs returns to the town of Comstock expecting to find her father. What she finds is a love she thought not returned and a web of lies that entraps everyone in the little backwater town.
A romantic suspense mired in the bog of deceit. In Legacy of Lies Ms. Christiansen sustains the sexual and suspenseful tension throughout the book to the very last line. Fans of both mystery and romance will enjoy this tale. -- Foxpaw Reviews, Five out of Five Pawprints, http://careyfoxlady.googlepages.com
