About Me

Welcome to my page! I'm the author of Rain Is Not My Indian Name (HarperCollins, 2001), Tantalize (Candlewick, 2007, 2008)(Listening Library, 2008)(Walker UK, 2008), and Eternal (Candlewick, 2009) I've also published books for children.

Eternal is set in the same universe as Tantalize but features different main characters. The two casts will crossover in Blessed (Candlewick, TBA). A graphic novel adaptation of Tantalize--from Kieren's POV--is also in the works. See book trailers below!

I've also published YA short stories in Moccasin Thunder: American Indian Stories for Today, edited by Lori M. Carlson (HarperCollins, 2005) and Immortal: Love Stories with Bite, edited by P. C. Cast (BenBella, 2008)(exclusive to Borders/Waldenbooks). Learn more about my short stories!

My upcoming shorts will appear in Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd, edited by Holly Black and Cecil Castellucci, (Little Brown, 2009) and Sideshow: Ten Original Tales of Freaks, Illusionists, and Other Matters Odd and Magical, edited by Deborah Noyes (Candlewick, 2009).

You can find me elsewhere on the web at: www.cynthialeitichsmith.com; Cynsations at Blogger, Cynsations at LiveJournal, MySpace, Facebook, and JacketFlap.

Hi! Concerning my contest list...

I don't include blog monthly contests in it, BUT I do follow many bloggers who hold monthly contests. So... I am going to be creating one more contest list called Blogs' Monthly Contest List (unless I think of a better name :) and your site will be included!

Thanks for contacting me and I hope to have this new list made by the end of the month!
