I've been compared to an author from the 30's! Is that a good thing? I think so! But I also like to believe I'm an original and that being unique is better :)

General Interests
Reading, writing, cooking, gardening, graphic designing and enjoying the company of my hubby of 32 years. I also enjoy spending time with our dog, Shadow, who is 15 now, has diabetes and is totally blind, but she's a real trooper! She's full of love and we are ever so blessed to have her as part of our family. I'm beginning to take to our newest member, a stray cat I dubbed Max. He brought me a rat and since we live in the country, he's doing his job. Therefore, he stays.
Music
Classical sometimes, Country, 60's, 70's and 80's music, jazz and bluegrass. I love the flute and piano solos as well. Basically smooth and easy listening, though I sometimes will listen to old rock.
Books
I refer to the bible when I need a source of guidance, strength or just to boost my faith when things turn sour. Mysteries are my favorite otherwise, and has been since I was very young.
Movies/TV
Favorite movie of all time is "The Ten Commandments". I also love comedies, family oriented movies and action packed movies! I love Lifetime and Hallmark movies as well. I enjoy suspense, but usually close my eyes during the really gorry parts. I despise movies or shows that show injured animals or animals being killed. I enjoy the wildlife here in the country and we feed the critters! Call me crazy, but I think Oppossums are cute and they are quite timid actually. Now racoons are another story! And coyotes. Not fond of either of those. TV shows I like best are: NCIS, Medium, Monk, CSI, Cold Case, Criminal Minds, the new show My Life On Mars and another new one, The Mentalist.

Crystal Clear - First in the Memory Box Trilogy (2009)
Annie Thompson, DVM. She loved her new title and is anxious to get her new veterinary clinic opened up and hang her sign out front. She's been dreaming of this day since she received Max for Christmas when she was a little girl.

But someone is bent on revenge and is making sure Annie's new business doesn't succeed. He, or she, is stalking her and mysterious accidents result in setback after setback, causing Annie to seek refuge at Susan's shelter, New Beginnings. But who could possibly be behind everything? And why?

Annie's mother, Laura, is also a victim of the unknown stalker, making the puzzle even more mysterious. Neither of them can recall any enemies or anyone who would wish them harm. So how are the two connected?

Could it be Jordan Wentworth, Annie's former boyfriend? Is he seeking revenge because she broke off their relationship and went to college?

In this final installment in the Memory Box Trilogy, find out what happens next as the complete story unfolds, revealing the truth as Annie discovers the importance of a loving and merciful God and the value of family in her life when her mother passes her most prized possession, the memory box, on to Annie.

Chasing Memories - First in the Memory Box Trilogy (2008)
Steven and Laura Thompson have the ideal marriage, and the birth of Annie only strengthens their bond. Life is perfect, as if they have forever, until everything changes in an instant with one man's careless decision - to drive while intoxicated - and the resulting accident leaves Laura a widow.

Now a single mother, Laura struggles to move on with her life but two years later, an unimaginable tragedy strikes again. While shoveling her elderly neighbor's snowy walk, a careening car slides into her on an icy patch on the street, and leaves Laura with no memory of either Steven or Annie!

Laura grapples to make sense of the missing pieces of her past, living in the present with a daughter she can't remember, a friend she doesn't know but must learn to trust, and a future filled with uncertainties. A beautiful memory box, handcrafted by her elderly neighbor and given to her at Christmas, is filled with precious mementos in the hopes she will one day remember.

As Laura instinctively fights for survival, her eventual surrender to a God of love brings hope, healing and a new wholeness to her shattered life.

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." ~~1 Corinthians 13:13 - NIV

With the birth of little Tommy, Susan suddenly finds herself on an emotional roller coaster ride, ultimately costing her an extremely hefty price. Once a strong Christian woman, she must find her way back to God. He is she and Tommy's only chance. But will she be able to escape in time to keep her and Tommy out of Harm's way?

About Cindy Bauer

Author, Reviewer, Interviewer, Freelance Writer & Editor

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 rekindled when she began working for a daily newspaper. She published her first novel, Chasing Memories,  in 2006 and her second, Shades of Blue, 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. Cindy enlisted the assistance of her brother, an artist and lyrics writer, to design the new covers for Shades of Blue, republished November 2008, and Crystal Clear, released June 2009.

Besides writing and marketing her own works, Cindy now freelances as a writer and editor, and also reviews for Bookpleasures and New Leaf Press. She recently joined the staff as a volunteer at Visual Arts Junction and contributes articles revolving around writing, publishing and marketing.

Cindy,

I've actually been thinking about booking in Mo sometime soon. I have family and friends there but haven't set any dates. Do you think it would be possible to book something for the October festival?

I appreciate the suggestion.

THE NICKY JAMES MOVEMENT on 6/22/09 - 10:47 AM
My dearly beloved Cindy:

Peace be unto you!

Given the current distress and perplexity which the world is experiencing, inspirationally caused by the forces that be through man and nature, it is important that certain mysteries are brought to light at this time, that the wearied soul may find comfort in understanding the time and season, and his designed course and ordained destiny, as the end of the journey and its glory are upon you: for every journey must have an end. Individual appointed times are gradually unfolding unto the full knowledge of God's grace, as the last fulfillment is at the door; grace to you: for Peace, the latter rain, whom you seek, and whom the world esteems not, is in your midst, incognito: for as it was at the first, so again it is at the last!

To he that has perception: Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open (expound) the book, and to loose (interpret) the seven seals thereof. Thus you were told to watch: for he comes as a thief. And understand the presence of a thief: for he never comes announced; but is in your midst, yet unawares to anyone but he that he makes his presence known to: incognito. Let he that has an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches (the body of faiths), even unto all men: it is the voice (doctrine: testimony) of the seventh angel (Peace: the last). The peace of the Father, which is accorded the Son, be with you; and the love of the Father, whom you are, ever to be reflected unto your brethren. Shalom! Salaam! Namaste!

Eternally with you!
Your friend,
Nicky

Praying beautiful blessings over the life of unique you!!!

blessed day Pictures, Images and Photos

Prayer brings change. Faith drives away fear. The joy of the Lord is your strength. The Holy Spirit is your power. The word of God is the mapped out directions that enable you to be an overcomer in life. Therefore, make hast to boldly step out and conquer that which seeks to rob you of a life filled with God's promised abundance and constant presence. Opt for faith above fear and the doorway of God's grace is open before you!

May your day be filled with exciting new discoveries, as you experience the full reality of who you have become in Christ out Lord! The believing faithful are appointed to win. Do not neglect to collect your victory. Asking for you an amazing day!

Big Hug!
