I have received several suggestions lately to create an index or a list showing the proper order for the stories in “The Cynthia Chronicles.” Quite frankly, I don’t have the skill to put the stories in the proper order that might show in a side bar. I also create a problem by not necessarily writing the stories in chronological order. I did, however, create a time line in order to keep track of events in the series. Sometimes I catch temporal errors, sometimes I don’t.

I have changed the titles to some of the stories, but those title changes don’t necessarily show up on BCTS. You will also see reference to a story, “Cynthia and the Wonderful Corrections.” This story is not yet published.
