Interests

Writing, reading, learning new "tricks" on the computer with graphics, spending time with hubby of 32 years :) and our dog Shadow, 15, and newest family member Max, the cat.

Books

Too many to even begin telling you about. But my favorite for reference, guidance, strength and peace of mind, is the Bible, of course. My first love is mysteries.

Movies

The Ten Commandments, Ghost, The Green Mile

Television

I rarely have time for television, but there are a few programs I enjoy watching. You probably won't be surprised at these, since my first love is mysteries. I like NCIS, CSI, Medium, Monk, Criminal Minds, Cold Case, Numbers, The Mentalist and My Life on Mars.

About Me

Born and raised in Iowa, Cindy Bauer grew up the youngest of three children. An avid reader since early childhood, she often dreamed of becoming a writer. Cindy graduated from Assumption High School in 1975, married her husband Robert in 1976 and left her dream behind. When her mother became terminally ill, Cindy and her husband relocated to Missouri in 1986 to assist with her care. They decided to stay and make it their home.

Cindy's dream to write was sparked when she began working for a daily newspaper. She published her first novel in 2006 and her second in 2007, both of which were edited by her sister, a former journalism teacher. In early 2008, Cindy severed ties with her publisher. She then rewrote and republished both those novels in 2008.

But editor "sis" is not the only family member involved with Cindy's writing career. Her brother designed the new cover for the republished second novel and also the one for the yet to be published third novel, Crystal Clear, which Cindy hopes to have ready for publishing by early spring.

No longer in the newspaper business, Cindy now freelances as a writer and editor, between writing and marketing her own work. She is a former member of ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers), reviewer for Bookpleasures.com, managed by Editor Norm Goldman, one of the top reviewers for Amazon and recently signed up to review for New Leaf Press.

"I believe the Lord has chosen me to spread His word through my words and who am I to question His plans for me?" ~~ Cindy

Goal

After this trilogy is completed, my next series is a mystery/suspense series, and I'm also working on some childrens books as well.

I've just recently struck out on my own as a Freelance Writer and Editor, and I hope to be able to put some of my skills to work for you!

Mrs. Bauer, I'm a Christian writer, also. Just breaking in with my first novel, HONEYSUCKLE TIME to be published by the James A. Rock company this summer. I spent about 40 years trying to break in. Also, I'm writing my first nonfiction book. Old American Publishing liked my writing and offered me a contract. God is good. To say the least.

Best of luck,
Elvin
