ignited, there was no extinguishing the passion once it began to
flame out of control.

My
love of reading romance fiction goes back to those early years when I
was raising a young family. It wasn't until much later in life, that
I actually took up the pen to write and my first historical romance,
Wind Warrior was born. I don't fit into one specific genre. When the
ideas start to flow, lord only knows what category they'll fit into
**wink wink **
I
wish I could have gotten to this point in my career much sooner
rather than later, but life simply got in the way far too many times.
Because of those multiple detours, however, I have become a more
passionate and expressive writer and can draw upon those painful
moments in my past, when I need to create the kind of raw human
emotion I want my readership to feel.
It
is my hope you walk away with not just an entertaining read, but the
importance in knowing, "Without imagination & dreams, we
lose the excitement of wonderful possibilities."

Behind the Title
(Creation of a Love Story)
By Romance Author Cynthia Roberts
Creating romantic fiction has been a passion of mine, ever since I
was old enough to understand the connection between the sexes. I
think I was twelve, when I wrote my first love story and like most
young minds; I truly thought it was a masterpiece.
There’s
another masterful connection that has been going on now for
centuries, and that, is the one between music and literature. There
is a full alphabet of songs that have been written retelling a work
of literature as far back as the 18th century.
“If
I Die Young” by The Band Perry was based on a poem, Lady of
Shallot. “Love Story” by Taylor Swift is loosely based on Romeo
& Juliet. The artist Sting’s “Moon Over Bourbon Street”
was based on an Anne Rice Novel, Interview with A Vampire.
More
interestingly though, is the anatomy of a song and how it has within
its lyrics a pretty fascinating back story as well. For more than
five decades, authors have been creating fictional pieces and
bringing readers deep inside the lyrics. I grew up listening to my
mom’s collection of romantic ballads from the 40s, 50s, and 60s.
Those lyrics have forever been embossed into my brain, I still sing
along whenever I hear them. Lyrics like those back then told a
story, and they were so strong, and emotional, their affect were
everlasting.
I
have a library of love songs on iTunes I listen to religiously, while
I write, as a source of inspiration and a tool that gets me in the
mood and mindset I need to be in. It is from this list, I began to
formulate a series of ideas, followed by cryptic notes on paper, and
finally the creation of my Love Song Standards Series. I made a list
of the songs I connected with personally, whittling it down to
thirty-five. That number was quite overwhelming, and I thought
virtually impossible to create that many scenarios. So, I chipped
away at the songs and their lyrics, until I decided on a top ten.
I
had made a commitment to myself to finish one book a month throughout
2016, writing a chapter every day, leaving me ample time to polish
and edit each one. I knew from the on-start, what I wanted my covers
to look like. They had to resemble each other in a way that would
tie them together, but strong enough for them to stand on their own.
My designer Covers
by Ramona did an exceptional job tying all my ideas
together.
After
Book 6, Chances Are, was completed, my brain was fried. I took a
short reprieve and switched it up a bit with a Romantic Suspense, A
Pawn for Malice. Happily, the first two books of my series received
a 5-Star Readers Favorite Award, which ended my promotion efforts. I
was forced to take an extended break due to personal issues that had
set me back both physically and emotionally. My focus now, is to
both promote my series and finish the final four titles All The Way,
It’s Impossible, Sincerely, and Unforgettable.
If
you’re a lover of contemporary romance, please do check out my Love
Song Standard Series. I’m launching a Boxed Set of my first three
titles for just $2.99. Buy links for Amazon, Apple, Barnes and
Noble, Kobo, and Smashwords are available on my website at

Hugs from me to you.
