Click here to listen to Cynthia Rogerson being interviewed on MX-Cloud.com about her latest novel 100,000 Birthdays.
We are all the result of an unbroken line of life forms splitting or reproducing for almost four billion years. From the cosmic sneeze that birthed the universe to the microscopic marvel that was Kevin, 100,000 Birthdays is a dazzling exploration of the improbable, chaotic, and wondrous journey of life itself. Through wit, whimsy and […]
What is a D list writer? Someone like me. Someone who gets all her books published (none languishing on the hard drive or bottom drawer!) and garners excellent reviews from respected authors and occasionally gets shortlisted for major prizes – and yet, her sales figures remain underwhelming.

Upstanding and astute, this book […]

I am slightly dismayed and surprised, but feel weirdly optimistic anyway. I’ve just missed the zeitgeist, that’s all. My moment for these books has passed or is about to arrive. I wait […]
By the end of May, I was panicking and wondering if I still had an agent. No word back from her after my panicky nudges, casually worded to make it sound like I was not panicking. I even pretended to worry that I’d addressed previous emails incorrectly and just needed confirmation that she’d received them. […]
