About Me

Before the age of "Terrible 2", the nic-name Cyanne Pepper was earned for a hot temper when frustrated. As the fuse of my temper lengthened with maturity, my nic-name was shortened to Cy [pronounced Ki]. I married in 1972 while in college to a unique man - obviously he's a keeper! OR maybe it is because he generally feels I need a keeper? ;-)Our 2 sons have made their own home but remain as close as a call when we need help. According to their wives, they are challenged by fatherhood but clueless in husband/wife communications - i.e. typical men. In November, 1998 Christopher was born; Sarah was born November 2001, Carol was born October 2005 and a boy is expected May 2008 giving Tom & Bonnie a full house. Becky and Joe's daughter, Emily was born April 2002.I have worn many hats. Business college, various part-time jobs as our children have grown, managing our family's Mini-golf business for 10 years and now online eBOOKISLE (NEW, Used & E-Book store) and volunteer work has supplied varied and interesting life experiences. [I plead the 5th on any "war stories" you may have heard!] Presently 'early retirement' feels better than expected and we are enjoying the schedule flexibility if not the medical restrictions. Chuck's diagnosis of MS has affected all of the family - it is not only Chuck who has learned to cope.As Manager for New Book Department at the brick store and eBOOKISLE.net, I occasionally personally review books. You may contact me at eBOOKISLE if you wish to discuss having your book reviewed by myself [Electronic format review copies accepted]

My Interests

A few ;-) - I volunteer once a week at St Vincent De Paul Charity Shop and I also volunteer for PNR REVIEWS [ParaNormal Romance Reviews]

I'd like to meet:

Jesus Christ - no rush, someday I will - Meanwhile, meet and greet with me!

Music:

Store is tuned to 96.5 WLJY - CLICK AND YOU CAN LISTEN, TOO

Movies:

As a booklover, my focus is visual; so books made into movies interest me. I vary from appauled entertainment for titles such as Crichton's CONGO where the movie was nothing like book - to being thrilled with Narnia, Harry Potter as well as Barbara Taylor Bradford, Danielle Steel, Linda Lael Miller and Nora Robert's books which were accurately made into movies.

Television:

I'd rather read - no commercials! Recording from TV for personal viewing should not be a surprise - but I respect that those who provide should profit; so will highlight these added demtions to reading when possible -- such as videos of TV Series: Highlander, Dark Angel, Beauty & the Beast, M.A.S.H., MacGyver, etc.

Books:

I work for the online store of BOOK ISLE PAPERBACKS -My reading preferences are paranormal romance and romance [I avoid the 'HOT' stuff] As New & eBook Department Manager for eBOOKISLE as well as PNR Staff Member for ParaNormal Romance Egroup, I also review books.

Heroes:

My Mom, My Dad
