Meet the Author

Cynthia Woolf was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in the mountains west of Golden. She spent her early years running wild around the mountain side with her friends.

Their closest neighbor was one quarter of a mile away, so her little brother was her playmate and her best friend. That fierce friendship lasted until his death in 2006.

Cynthia was and is an avid reader. Her mother was a librarian and brought new books home each week. This is where young Cynthia first got the storytelling bug. She wrote her first story at the age of ten. A romance about a little boy she liked at the time.

She worked her way through college and went to work full time straight after graduation and there was little time to write. Then in 1990 she and two friends started a round robin writing a story about pirates. She found that she missed the writing and kept on with other stories. In 1992 she joined Colorado Romance Writers and Romance Writers of America. Unfortunately, the loss of her job demanded the she not renew her memberships and her writing stagnated for many years.

In 2000, she saw an ad in the paper for a writers conference being put on by CRW and decided she'd attend. One of her favorite authors, Catherine Coulter, was the keynote speaker. Cynthia was lucky enough to have a seat at Ms. Coulter's table at the luncheon and after talking with her, decided she needed to get back to her writing. She rejoined both CRW and RWA that day and hasn't looked back.

Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and the great friends she's made at CRW for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.

    Great ending to this trilogy!

    Centauri Midnight is the third and final Centauri story. Kiti is a headstrong woman seeking justice for her brother's murder. Raised together by their grandmother, they were all the family each other had left. Accompanying Captain Garrick on his mission to pursue the guilty party, Lord Tybold, is the only way she can get vengeance. She is not on this mission to find anything but justice, but finds love and so much more that she never expected.

    Garrick Marcus has been in love with Kiti for years- ever since he met her. He may not have the ability to KNOW his lifemate, as his friends Darius and Anton do, but he knows there is nobody else for him. He only has a few weeks to convince her that they are meant to be together, and he'll need every minute to woo her and show her how he feels. When they land on Gregara, they expect to find several very primitive cultures, and are shocked to discover something entirely different. Garrick knows that he'll stand beside Kiti, no matter what challenges she faces.

    Centauri Midnight is a great ending to the Centauri trilogy. It is not necessarily a stand-alone book, but it is the perfect dessert to the first two "courses." If you read just this one, you may miss out on some background knowledge of the characters. There is a constant underlying tension between Garrick and Kiti that doesn't go away even after they consummate their relationship. Kiti plays a believable role in bringing justice to her brother's killer. The supporting cast of this story is full of quirk and fun. The very masculine characters, Peligro and Sunev completely balance the strong femininity of Melana. While one would expect the male villain, Lord Tybold, to be the main evil of the story, Zia takes the reins as my most-hated antagonist. She is vile and manipulative and I almost cheered when karma took her out.

    If you're looking for some wonderful science fiction romance, the Centauri series by Cynthia Woolf is the way to go. I went into this series expecting love, sex, intrigue, action, and hunky hunky men. I was not disappointed, and you won't be either! I don't recommend getting just one. This is a series that makes you wonder what happened next. I'm so glad I didn't have to wait to find out!
