Cynthia Haseloff

Cynthia Haselhoff was born in Vernon, Texas, and named after Cynthia Ann Parker, perhaps the best-known of 19th century white female Indian captives. The history and legends of the West were part of her upbringing in Arkansas. Haselhoff once said,"I love the West, perhaps not all of its reality, for much of it was cruel and hard, but certainly its dream and hope..." The Chains of Sarai Stone is her sixth frontier novel.
