But of course when her first book opens with the line :
“I could
smash it with a hammer.
Or maybe
boil it in a vat of hot tar. Perhaps douse it in gasoline and flick a match at
it. No. A steamroller. I should definitely run it over with a steamroller.”
Yeah..... What else did you expect???

Blurb :
When who's your daddy is a multiple choice
question...
Paranormal Psychologist Matilda Schmidt is one
client away from fa-la-la-la-losing it. Holiday cheer is in the air, gun-toting
fruitcakes are in her office, and she's spinning through mood swings fast
enough to make her toss her cookies--even without the morning sickness.
When Ol' Kris Kringle goes AWOL after a nervous
breakdown, his disgruntled elf is convinced that only Matilda can get him back
on his sleigh in time to keep humans from tearing each other apart quicker than
couponeers at a Black Friday sale.
But their efforts hit the skids when the men in
Matilda's life show up and demand to know which of them is responsible for the
bun in her oven: the hot hit man who's likely to stuff her stocking with
ammunition, or the delicious demigod who's made Santa's naughty list a couple
centuries running.
I think you understand now, why I looove her sooo much!!!
About Cynthia St Aubin :
I like gravy.
This has nothing to do
with the rest of my bio, but I thought you ought to know.
About the writing
thing...
I wrote my first play
when I was six and made my brothers perform it for my parents. I charged gum
wrappers for admission (a steal, in my opinion, considering I had handed out
the gum wrappers ahead of time). While I seriously doubt you'll be seeing any
of my formative work on Broadway anytime soon, I can credit these early
experiments with the first of many important lessons I learned about writing:
no matter how brilliant your manuscript is, some kid can go streaking butt-ass
nekkid across the living room, and totally undermine your vision.
Everyone watches the
naked kid because running across the living room with your cheeks flapping in
the breeze is friggin' hilarious.
Cue the lightbulb moment. People like funny stuff!
I never quite gave up on
the writing thing, even as I tried my hand at being a dusty academic turned
Executive Assistant (they paid me to nag! How cool is that?), but in those
quiet moments when expense reports had been filed and to-do items checked off,
the funny people in my head kept talking to me.
Yes, I know they have
medication for that. It's called vodka.
Since they discourage
drinking at work, I started writing instead. What came out was an amalgamation
(vocabulary!) of all the things I love: funny stuff, art,
psychology, food, people, and paranormal critters!
Et voila! The Case
Files of Dr. Matilda Schmidt, Paranormal Psychologist were born.
When I'm not sitting in
my office watching cat videos and pretending to write, I like cooking, knitting
(badly), and reading anything that makes me laugh (like my bank statements).
I live in Colorado with
my brilliant husband and three surly cats.
