Listen to "Bibiana Krall Speaks Up About Writing, Inspiration, and Her Books" on Spreaker.

A lifelong reader and lover of the written word, Cynthia Hamilton turned to writing in 2000 as a means of coping with a debilitating illness. Since then, she has written 13 books, 11 of which are available on Amazon. In addition to THE MADELINE DAWKINS MYSTERY SERIES, she writes general fiction and some memoir (FINDING RUTH and ONCE UPON A LYME…A TALE OF TWO JOURNEYS).
The Madeline Dawkins Series has really captured her imagination. Madeline’s dual careers as private investigator and event planner to the Santa Barbara elite keep her on her toes, sometimes overlapping, as seen in the latest book, HOUSES OF DECEPTION. Release date for Book 7—OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY—is spring 2022. All of the books in the series can be read as standalones.
In a recent interview on SPEAK UP TALK RADIO with host Pat Rullo, Cynthia shares where she found the inspiration for her novels. You can listen to the interview by clicking the link below:

LISTEN TO CYNTHIA'S INTERVIEW

Stephen D'Angelo is a business executive with more than 30 years of experience in the software technology industry leading high-performing global organizations. Through his extensive business success, he has a keen awareness of the critical success principles everyone should follow to live a happy, healthy, and successful life. Stephen is a proponent of what he calls Spiritual Leadership which is something everyone, regardless of their chosen field, can execute to achieve greater success and happiness. In A Single Day of Peace, Stephen explores:

* What does it mean to align your spiritual self with your professional self?
* Why are business professionals, executives, and top performers more stressed and lost than ever?
* How can we all align the various aspects of our lives to achieve success, personal fulfillment, and the ultimate goal . . . happiness? 
* We have always been told there is no manual for life. Well now there is, with a distinct roadmap that will guide readers to happiness, peace, and a life of fulfillment. 

Many of us struggle with the meaning of life. We no longer have to seek the answers to these age old questions from the world around us, but can instead rely on our own strengths, our own wisdom, our own mindset, and our own power to create the life that we deserve, a life that is fulfilling, stable, and aligned with our core values and life goals. 
A Single Day of Peace provides direction for anyone seeking self-improvement, spiritual and emotional growth, motivation, and a more fulfilling existence. This work first captivates the reader by embarking on a fictional journey between two seemingly opposite worlds of business and spirituality. The protagonist demonstrates how the values and qualities needed to live a meaningful life do not come from the rules and societal norms instilled by either world, but rather a series of defined guiding principles that the author clearly lays out in an easy to follow format. 
Stephen goes beyond the story and also offers readers a definitive plan, a 50 day guide that will help bridge the gap between the life you are living and the life you deserve to lead. Actionable advice such as approaching failure with focus on growth rather than fear, the importance of being a lifelong learner, and embracing change rather than rejecting it will guide readers to live their lives to the fullest.

Author Cynthia Hamilton’s ten published works include fiction, mystery and memoir. Her latest release is Houses of Deception, book 6 in the Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series.
Finding Ruth was inspired by a photograph of her mother taken in 1949 while moving her into an Alzheimer’s facility. It was written as a means to discover who her mother was as a person in her own right, outside her role as Mom. It was sometimes a difficult journey into the past, but it gave her new perspective and appreciation for all her mother had been through and how strong she had been to survive all her heartache.

21 Things You Need To Know About Me:

* What book have you gifted the most? Why?

I have gifted Spirit Bond the most. Spirit Bond is my first audiobook. Jessica Caruso did a fantastic job narrating this book. My daddy also wants his story heard.

* What is the one productivity tool you use every day? Why?

I use my cell phone the most. In particular, I use my notepad to write more than I use my phone to talk. My phone is always near me.

3. What word do you misspell most often? 

This is hilarious! I write a lot using my phone. My smart phone thinks it knows what I want to say, but it almost always corrects the word chicken to children. So every time I ask my husband to pick up Walmart chicken, my phone corrects it to children! Our conversation would look like this, " Hunny, can you pick up Walmart children for supper tonight?" He always says, " I don't think I can do that!"

4. What three things do you do to be a successful writer? 

The most important thing I do as a successful writer is I write from my heart. Then I write simply. I want everyone to understand my words. Not just educated people. The third thing I do is I respond to every person who sends me emails or connects with me about my books.

5. What are the titles of the last two books you have read? 

The most recent book I read was Kid of the King by Elain Elizabeth Presley. She is my cousin. Very interesting book! The other last two books I read were from another cousin. She was adopted as well. Akin to the Truth and After the Truth are written by Paige Strickland. 

6. What is your favorite word? 

I don't know if I have a favorite word. If I did, it would be Awesome!

7. What do you use more often – a dictionary or a thesaurus? 

I use a dictionary the most.

8. What would you name the autobiography of your life? 

September's Child

9. What is your ‘go to' munchie or drink while writing? 

Oh, this one is easy. Chocolate and coffee are my go to munchies and drink. 

10. Is a picture worth a thousand words? Elaborate. 

I don't think a picture is worth a thousand words. Pictures do not show everything. For instance, I have a grade school picture of myself. I'm wearing a turtleneck. The turtleneck is covering the bruises on my neck. The picture is an adorable image of me smiling. The picture hides not just my bruises, but the pain inside of me.

11. What animal are you most similar to, and why? 

One of my grandsons has a Native American father. He has given me the Arctic Wolf as my spirit animal. He did that because of my resilience.

12. How would your best friend describe you?

My best friend would describe me as crazy. Then she would say, but I love her so much!

13. What keeps you up at night?
