Cindy Gerard is a bestselling American author, well-known for her romance and romantic suspense novels. Hailing from a small town, Gerard was surrounded by a close-knit community where she developed a strong sense of camaraderie and support. Her love for reading was sparked at a young age, thanks to the local library that offered a wide range of books for her to devour. Little did she know that this pastime would eventually lead her to become a successful author.
Gerard's writing career took off when she decided to pen her first book, with the primary objective of simply finishing it. The idea of selling it came later, and once she made that first sale, she realized that one book would not be enough. Over two decades and numerous awards later, Gerard's powerful and evocative love scenes have earned her spots on bestseller lists, multiple RT nominations and awards, the Colorado Romance Writers Award of Excellence, a National Reader's Choice Award, and two RITA nominations.
In addition to her writing career, Gerard is a trainer for the Iowa Department of Human Services, a position she finds challenging, rewarding, and influential in her work as an author. She draws inspiration from her experiences in this role, using her understanding of the human condition to create rich and diverse characters and storylines. Gerard's personal life is equally fulfilling, with a loving husband, Tom, who shares her passion for horses, dogs, and their summer cabin in northern Minnesota.
New York Times and USA Today Bestseller Cindy Gerard has more than fifty titles in print and is recognized for her contributions to the romantic suspense genre. With over seven RITA nominations, two RITA wins, and numerous RT nominations, Gerard has solidified her place as a successful and accomplished author.
