Brief Author Bio:

Published author of 17 published books -- 16 young-adult (fiction and non-fiction, including 5 biographies -- with another ready for publication next fall) and 1 mainstream adult novel, FORWARD TO CAMELOT, which took honors in 3 literary competitions, became a #6 Amazon bestseller and was optioned for film (it's currently available again!) Latest adult novel, STEALING FIRE, a love story, was a semi-finalist in the 2008 & 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contests. This year's novel is the action-packed sequel to FORWARD TO CAMELOT!

Synopsis: DYING WITH THE STARS

Cady Cuyler, the heroine of FORWARD TO CAMELOT, returns in a new novel that shows us the consequences of her dramatic time travel to save JFK from assassination in Dallas. Cady has just completed work on her first big movie, THE FIRE STORM, playing herself in the dramatic account of the weekend she spent saving President Kennedy's life -- but of course no one knows it's really her. Cady is worried that in publicizing the movie, she'll inadvertently say or do something that will make people suspicious -- so she's open to her agent Craig's suggestion that instead of doing a publicity tour, she can appear on a live TV ballroom dance competition. Cady joins the cast of CELEBRITY TWIRL, a top-rated network show, but along with the usual backstage dramas and fierce competition among the celebrities and dancers, she finds something more sinister ... murder. And it's just a matter of time before she figures out that it's someone on the show who must be behind the mutilated bodies being found on a regular basis ... At the same time, she's realizing that the time travel she's done has had a strange effect on her -- the dizziness she feels is a symptom that could lead very shortly to her own inexorable death ...

Fans of FORWARD TO CAMELOT will rejoice in another adventure with Cady Cuyler, the actress who's really as beautiful, smart, courageous and resourceful as the characters she plays.
