BIOS and Bodyguard Series(tu) (1 reply)

ebozanich — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 05:59:14 -0700

I have read most of the books in both the BIO's and Bodyguard series. I just bought the book about Savage. I am in love with these characters, they are bold, handsome, funny and all men!!! I am wondering though when the book about DOC's romance will be coming out??? My family is Peruvian and I just read the book involving Etan and Darcy which gave some very delightful history of Peru. I am addicted and was also wondering if Green and the Thompson's daughter will have a follow up story? Also since I truly enjoy both these series will I enjoy, "Deadly Promises?"

Cindy,
I absolutely adore your Black Ops series! I didn't think I was going to like them as well as the Bodyguards, but I like them better. As a matter of fact, in June I read Risk. Then I went back & read all 4 of the others. When are doing the next one? Please tell me it's going to be about "Doc?" I thought he was really going to die in Risk. I would love to read your excerpt that didn't make to the book. Please hurry on your next Black Ops book. Thanks!

I'm a new fan and I love the BLO series(:D. I'm reading book 3 and have all 5 of them and dreading when I finish because i'll want more. Haven't looked
at the bodyguard series yet. Are these the only books you've written? I didn't see anything listed when I was looking to buy your series

I just finished reading all the books in the BOI series and I have to say I could not put them down. I'm in love with all the guys. Yes like everyone else I am waiting to read Doc's story but I want to see how Joe and Steph end up as well!

I have just finished Risk No Secrets, and it was so worth the wait!!! But, the back of the book says that it features an excerpt from the next exciting novel for the Black Ops Inc, but I don't see an excerpt. Am I missing something? I was so looking forward to a sneek peak for the next book!

Thanks!

LOVE LOVE LOVE your books!

What happened?! (1 reply)

Zosia — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 06:58:00 -0700

I went to buy new copies of these books from Amazon today, and the books are no longer available!!

And last night I went to buy Black Ops ebooks and they have been removed too!! I went to download them and was told my money was refunded because the ebooks are no longer available for purchase.

Are they coming back? I rushed over to Book Depository and put an order in.

Hi Cindy,
Thought I better do a little more research since my last posting. You were right and that is what I get for reading two books at a time!! YOUR character is Julianna(Nathan's significant other) and does have some similarities to Beverly Barton's character Yvette Meng(half Asian and French and also an empath. I L-o-o-ove the Black Op Series.Stories are superb!! For me that is a definite plus and you are to be commended for your writing talent. A book has to grab me in the first 15 pages or it's onward I go in search of something that does. That is something that will not ever affect you, from what I have read by you so far, and that includes just about everthing you have in print. Wow!! Churn "em Out, Cindy.

joan — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 08:54:06 -0700

I noticed the character,Yvette Ming, in Black Ops Series has the same name,persona, occupation and general characteristics as Beverly Barton portrays her character in the Dead Before series. Is this a crossover or purely coincidental? I really love to read and have read all the books I wanted to read by both of you. I am anxiously waiting for your book coming out in May. Many happy returns-- pun intended!

brecken — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:24:55 -0800

wow!

I can't say enough about this book -- I LOVE this series and each time new book comes out, I want to reread the entire series. :) tell us another book is in the near future, please!!!

Cindy, everything about this series transports me to the time and place with these characters --would you mind sharing a little bit about your writing process? how do you start? with a story idea? and how did you develope this series idea? (I thought I read somewhere you brainstormed with others?)

anyway, I am so lost in these stories and the character's lives from the time I pick it up, I simply can't say enough good things about them and how intriguing they are!

thanks for another great book ....and please....could you write any faster? :D

bbaugh290 — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 06:24:14 -0700

I just found your message board. I love your books. I picked up 'To The Edge' at a used book store. Lucky for me it was the first in the series because I had to go to Amazon to get the rest. I don't think anybody lets go of them once they get them. The BodyGuards were FINE the BOIs are even better. I can't pick my favorite.

Cindy, THANK YOU! (no replies)

Gabe'sMyGuy — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 15:15:29 -0700

Cindy,
I just want to take a few minutes to say thank you for keeping me in reading material for so long. I have been a huge fan for as long as I can remember! Reading is a true joy for me and I love that you keep pen to paper. It always seems like you have a new release on the shelves as quickly as possible! Thank You! I would also like to ask a quick question...do you still have your 'name that foal' contest?? :) Actually, that is how I started reading your books, a friend of mine told me about your website and your foal naming contest, being an avid equestrian I couldn't resist checking out your site! Who knew that you wrote books right up my alley to boot! I would also like to thank you for the topics you write about. The fact that there are men and women out there away from family and friends, in dangerous positions that most of us could never imagine, fighting to keep our dreams of a better tomorrow alive. Well Done!!!

MORE BOI BOOKS IN THE WORKS!!! (31 replies)

cindy gerard — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 14:45:02 -0700

Okay people. Most of the mail I get these days are requests for more Black Ops, Inc. books. And I LOVE you all for that!!>:D<
I'm so jazzed that you're loving my BOIs and want to hear more stories.
So, here's the scoop. Yes, yes, there will be more in the series!! I am hard at work right now on book 4. FEEL THE HEAT features that Latin charmer, Raphael Mendoza. That's the good news.

The bad news is that FEEL THE HEAT won't be out until October 2009. I know. It seems like a long ways away but trust me, I'm writing as fast as I can. In case you haven't been keeping track, from May of 2005 until December 2008, I had 9 novels and 1 novella published. Whew! Have to tell you, it's kept me busy. So, I'm not laying down on the job, okay? I'm hard at it with plans for more books in the series. You'll eventually hear from Doc and Savage and Joe Greene and yes, we'll see Nate and Julianna again as well as cameos by Gabe and Sam and hot Johnny Reed. So, take heart and have patience. I love your enthusiasm and I'm writing as fast as I can :o)
Hugs
Cindy

jweller — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 02:48:16 -0700

I am going through withdrawl sickness - When is the next book coming out? I can't wait. I am one of those people that purchase the books the day they hit the store and I do nothing until I complete the book (Luckily, it only takes about 2 hours to completely read the book). Help ! I need more stories!

Yowser!! We hit the New York Times AGAIN!!! (2 replies)

cindy gerard — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 06:51:44 -0800

Wow and double wow!!! You guys are awesome!! Thanks to all of you who rushed right out and bought your copy of WHISPER NO LIES, we've got a triple play! Yup, just like SHOW NO MERCY and TAKE NO PRISONERS, WHISPER NO LIES also hit the New York Times. We're #20 which is so cool because the book was up against major competition like Julie Garwood, Debbie Macomber, Christine Feehan, Nora - well, there were just gobs of amazing books out there. I feel so honored and so fortunate to even be out with that quality of write so it's truly icing on the cake to show up on the Times with them.
Thanks again. Really.!!! This is just great!
