About the Author

Cindy Cruciger was born on a full moon night in Okeechobee, Florida. A few days later, the doctor who delivered her disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle.

Her first work of fiction won a Romantic Times Book Club contest, and for three years she has been chronicling the strange world of an aspiring author, trying to get published. Her Path to Publishing column appears monthly in RT Book Club Magazine.

She currently lives in the village of Islamorada -- until her neighbors read this book and kick her off the island.

Elaine C McTyer (Dawson, GA USA)       I hardly ever like books written in the first person, so I read the first 30 pages expecting to be bored to death. Instead I was titillated, fascinated, and just stunned by this book. I really didn't know what to think at first. But by the 3rd or 4th chapter I was hooked. Tara is a non conformist, she is totally self absorbed, and not interested in any romantic efforts by her few friends. But along the way she gets cursed by a voodoo priest and priestess. Then she gets involved with a man who is lost from Wall Street. To add to the mix she manages a bar for a friend and runs a business called Revenge Gifts on line. The story line has more twists and turns than a snake caught in a headlock. This is not really a romance nor is it a drama, what it is, is just an unbelievable fun read. A Wild, weird, farce with so much humor it knocks you for a loop. Read it with your tongue in your cheek and a mixed drink at your side.
