Romance History: Cynthia Wright

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Cindy Challed spent 20 years writing historical novels under the pen name of Cynthia Wright. The extensive research she did on furniture, fabrics, and architecture led to a second career in interior design. Today, Challed is a Master Designer at Rubenstein Ethan Allen Gllries in Sacramento. Challed's monthly column can be viewed in the Senior Magazine about home decorating.

Cynthia Wright wrote historical romances under her own name and that of Devon Lindsay, the heroine's name in Silver Storm. Since her first book, Caroline, was published in 1977, she had attracted a unique following of loyal readers. She wrote sensuous books with accurately described historical backggrounds, and the most romantic of romance readers think she was the successor of Kathleen E. Woodiwiss.

Success had brought monetary benefits to Cynthia, enabling her to own her own house and travel. But there were other rewards. "I also have much more self-respect than I used to and I find that Rick sees me in a different light. I've become a feminist since 1977 and Rick admires that. He's much more ready to share—housework, decisions, everything. He knows I won't back down or take second place—and he loves it! There's no telling whether these changes might have occurred anyway, without my career and success, but I do know that my financial independence makes both of us take me more seriously."
