Personality

Quotes from others about the person

• "I now write five days a week, Monday through Friday. I sit down at my computer a nine o’clock in the morning and don’t get up until sometime between two and four o’clock in the afternoon, when I just have to get out of the house and see what the rest of the world is up to." Cynthia Bass about herself.
  
  “I like to write about what it actually feels like to participate in important historical events. My interest in history is not too surprising, considering my academic background, and one of my favorite parts of writing is the research I do before starting a book. I strive – I hope successfully – for as much historical accuracy as possible." Cynthia Bass about herself.
