Hi Lana,
If you signed up for Cindy's list, you would get synopses of the new books.
She includes short synopses with all the books on her list.

And things were going so well, but here are those pesky publisher qualities
back, with no synopses either in the new book list or once you've linked the

that.
So disapointed.
