- About Me:
- My first job was as a reporter for the Atlanta Constitution, City State Page listening to courtroom cases in Fulton County. Great stories play out every day in our judicial system. Many authors will simply sit in court to acquire plot lines for future novels. Through a college friend I tried my hand at Insurance Sales. Good at first but not so much afterward. I was in the insurance industry for 4 years until I snapped out of the trance. The trail from there has been both bumpy and fulfilling. I have been the Southeast Regional Vice President for a physician recruiting firm. I have been an outside representative for IBM in Savannah, Georgia. I have been a public school teacher in Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. I have served two years as Director of Admissions and am currently serving as the Student Services Coordinator for the largest aviation maintenance training facility in the country. Where I go from here I anxiously await God's direction.
- Favorite Books:
- I must admit that my favorite book is J.R.R, Tolkens Lord of the Rings
- Favorite Bookstores on land or cyberspace
- One of my favorite bookstores is Foxtail Book Shoope in Woodstock, GA. It is small and has the flavor of Shoope Around the Corner in You've Got Mail. Great place with friendly, knowledgeable people to serve you.

Talk of the Day - Narcissinia
Today is the 23rd of October, 2009. Why do I state the obvious so auspiciously you may be asking? I say the date to establish a timeline in this dialog. Many things have changed in our great country through the years. In my opinion there has been no greater change than the change in attitude from the generation of my parents, and perhaps yours, who were born between 1915 and 1925 and the generation now.
The 1915 to 1925 generation has been called the greatest generation of our nation’s history.… Continue

Events of the past few days of late September, 2009 have been engaging. Our President, the presumed leader of the free world, has had the podium at both the United Nations Security Council in New York City, New York and the G20 World Economic Conference in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Both have been a presentation of United States foreign policy that is confusing to our allies and disconcerting to the citizens of the United States. Our President continues to convey a message to the world of appeasem… Continue

Are you ready?
Anyway, I hope to get the house into decent shape before Christmas, when I do my annual meal for the family. There's also that Christmas list to get together. Time is ticking away.
What about you? Are you ready for Christmas? Or do you celebrate another Holiday? If so, are you ready?
Please Welcome Mary Cunningham, Cynthia's Attic Author
One of the main reasons for writing "Cynthia's Attic" came from my failure - failure to appreciate my ancestors. Our family stories are probably no more or less interesting than most, and I went out of my way to avoid remembering most of them or asking questions about my grandparents lives.
Or did I try to find out just which relative "supposedly" sold a city block on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles for $20,000? Guaranteed, I would not be sitting here writing a blog had that particular relative held on to the property.
Then there's the story, "Cynthia's Attic: Curse of the Bayou," of my great-great grandfather, Augustus Boilliat who disappeared in 1860 while taking a load of produce down the Mississippi River to New Orleans? Oh, sure I've read different accounts about what happened to him, but lost forever are the stories his grandson (my grandfather) could've told me about facts he'd heard from my great-great grandmother, Marie Julia, about her husband's disappearance.
I remember a few accounts told by my dad about his adventures as a teenage cave guide at one of the largest caves in the Southern Indiana area, Wyandotte, but I only have to guess at some of the adventures he must've had.
The idea for Cynthia's Attic: The Magician's Castle came from detailed genealogy research done by my cousin, Betty. Long before the Internet, she traveled to Switzerland to search for documents that would tie our great-grandmother, Harriet Kistler, to Peter Kistler the First, President of the Republic of Bern, 1470-1480. I've tried to honor the Kistler family in the fourth adventure in Cynthia's Attic.
Thanks, Morgan, for having me as a guest!
Mary Cunningham
She is also co-writer of the humor-filled, women's lifestyle book, "Women Only Over Fifty (WOOF)," along with published stories, "Ghost Light" and "Christmas Daisy," A Cynthia's Attic short story.
To celebrate the release of "The Magician's Castle," (Quake/Echelon Press, DEC 1, 2009), a winner will be chosen on each blog stop to receive a copy of the "Cynthia's Attic" short story, "Christmas With Daisy!" So, be sure to make a comment!

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
