Cynthia Eckert
Greetings to all!
My name is Cynthia Eckert and I
currently live in Juneau, Alaska.
I have always loved to read, and my
heart belongs to science fiction and
fantasy so when I discovered
paranormal
romances, it seemed like a natural
transition to read them as well.
While my favorites are vampires and
futuristic novels, I find myself
reading almost everything in-between
as
well because I just love a good story!
So imagine my surprise while at a
Romantic Times convention, I
discovered
there is a whole new world of books in
small press authors. While I read
plenty of mainstream novels, I
discovered that there aren't as many
reviews on the fabulous small press
authors I discovered and decided that
I
should start writing reviews and
posting them.
When I was given the opportunity to
review books as well for PNR it was a
chance too good to be true, so how
could I refuse?
Best wishes and I hope my reviews
will enable you to find new books as
well!
