Cynthia Lucas is the author of seven books in paranormal/fantasy, time travel and science fiction romance, a three time RONE AWARD nominee and finalist, and 2012 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Quarter Finalist. Her favorite element of a good story (besides a great romance and wonderfully 'real' characters) is stories that involve redemption of a bad boy, and evolution of the human spirit brought about by love. She lives in Florida with her husband of twenty-three years, along with her daughter, several pets, including exotic birds and other wildlife she rehabs as a hobby. When not writing, Ms. Lucas can be found on stage in local venues around her area with her band North 2 South, or writing and recording music. Her motto: Believe in yourself, because YOU are the author of your life. It's up to you where the story goes.... :)
