Cynthia Townley


Biography

As is evidence in my debut novel Trained To Kill, I am an avid fan of mystery suspense novels and grew up reading Nancy Drew Mysteries.

I've always wanted to write a book and it helps that my husband encourages me. I favor mystery crime (murder and mayhem), and I will admit I am glued to the TV when Rizzoli & Isles, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, and Blue Bloods comes on. By the end of the day, I just want to relax like everyone else. Unlike everyone else, the end of my day is between midnight and 2:00 A.M. I've always been a night owl. Hoot!

In addition to murder and mayhem, I have written a 54-page non-fiction manual "How To Publish an Ebook in 5 Days", outlining the differences between traditional publishing versus self-publishing. The idea to write this manual came when people were asking me, and my husband, how I published a novel so quickly. It took two months to write Trained To Kill, and six months of extensive research to determine how to publish it. This manual provides a step-by-step process to publishing, among other things.

I live in Houston, Texas with my husband, and I am working on the next Oliver Rousseau novel, Unsuspecting. Please visit me on facebook at Mystery-Crime-Novelist-Cynthia-Townley or drop me a comment at Cynthia Townley.

This manual is essential for first-time authors. When people had heard I published a book in five days they wanted to know how I did it. This manual is a "tell-all" of the challenges I faced with traditional book publishing versus self-publishing, and the months of research that drove me to the decision to self-publish my first novel. I hope you find it helpful.
