The penultimate posting of the Cynthia Chronicles is now up. To me, Chapter 8 represents the most important chapter in Cindy's life since her first encounter with The Wizard many years before. There are several chapters and tales under construction that may eventually appear in The Cynthia Chronicles - Volume 2. These will follow the further adventures of the group as they go through college and beyond. We will find out what the major motivation has been behind The Wizard and his group's actions. We will also discover that there are other magical beings in Cindy's world who are not nearly as benevolent as the magical beings we've met to date. What did The Wizard's cryptic comment about using her 9-iron on the twelfth mean to Bobbie? Randi's powers continue to develop almost exponentially. Of course, when least expected, she falls in love; however, it might be a difficult trip. I suspect it will be many months before any of the new adventures are posted (if ever). I do know that Cindy, Bobbie, Maddy and Silky are expecting their first blessed events. We also find out why Don is so important, and why The Wizard has submitted a large number of documents to his superiors.
