Celebrity Endosements!
I am thrilled to share these celebrity comments!
5-Stars! “Cynthia Ainsworthe’s writing is fun, sexy and exciting.
She uses her creativity and femaleness and turns it into pure sex. They are
well-written reads. Once you start to read one, you won’t want to put it down
because you know you’re in for a juicy ride.” ~~ Terri
Garber, renowned actor of screen and television. Quote by Terri Garber
used with her permission.
Ms. Garber portrayed feisty Ashton Main opposite Patrick Swayze in the television
miniseries adapted from John Jakes’ novels North
and South, Book 1, 2, and 3, as well her role as Leslie Carrington in Dynasty;
roles in As the Word Turns; Sporting
Chance; Law and Order; Cold Case, and innumerable other credits. Terri Garber IMDb
5 Stars! “I have read
thousands of works from amateurs to Bestsellers that are looking to be adapted
to film. Cynthia's writing is a perfect example of the quality that I look for
in such a novel. The elegance of dialog and titillating description fits in
nicely with those of the Bestsellers and transitions beautifully to the
screen.”

Page Count vs Word Count in Fiction Books
Page Count vs Word Count in Fiction Books
During
several book signings, one question frequently asked of me has been, “How many
pages is the book?” I always explain that the novel is over 90,000 words. The
person’s expression, tells me that I might as well have been speaking a foreign
language.
I
have no idea why the publishing industry has not educated the reading public
that word count determines the length of a novel and not the number of pages,
and that a 70,000-word book can have
more printed pages than a 90,000-word novel.
There
are several reasons for this that are useful to the publisher:
· Font style and size: A font style and
size will either increase or decrease the number of characters per page. Times
New Roman font delivers fewer characters per page than Garamond. The industry
standard for size is from 10 point to 13 point, with 11 point being the
average.
· Margins: The size of the margins and
space allowed for the gutter (margin at spine) can manipulate the page count.
·
Space between lines affects the number
of characters on a page.
· Depth of drop on chapter title page:
This is another tool to increase the page count, or in the case of a fatter
book, to decrease the number of pages.
· Trim size: That is the finished size of
the book. Obviously, the larger the book, the more words that will fit into it.
Often, publishers will use a larger trim size to accommodate the large print
editions for those readers seeking a more comfortable font size.

5 Stars!! First Review for Front Row Center's Passion in the Kitchen -- Trish Jackson Reviewer

Review - Passion in the Kitchen by Cynthia Ainsworthe
Front Row Center's Passion in the Kitchen is a cookbook with a difference, guaranteed to bring an extra spark into your relationship!
The author is an accomplished cook who specializes in French cuisine, and she is also an award-winning writer of a suspenseful and passionate romance novel, Front Row Center, which is currently being adapted into a screenplay.
The recipes are all tried and tested by the author, and are not too complex for the average home cook. The categories include 'Appeteasers', 'Warm up Foreplay' and 'Between the Sheets'. Each recipe includes a mouth-watering illustration, and all have suggestive names like 'Smooth Caresses', 'Sublime Joinings', 'Love Wand of Ecstasy' and 'Sweet and Lustful'.
Interspersed with photos of food is a generous serving of pictures of delectably hot men.
But that's not all... Every recipe ends with a "Cooking Break" - lines of flirtation taken from the novel, Front Row Center.
Example: 'Cooking break!
That’s all right,” she replied softly. “You want some of my …” she opened her palm, “… nuts?”
He blew out a ragged breath.'
If you are looking for something to spice up your life, look no further.
I received an advance review copy in exchange for an honest review.
