McDonald\u2019s life whirled around a song and a dance. She was a professional dancer and choreographer. During that time she choreographed many musicals and an opera for the Pittsburgh Savoyards. In 2011 she retired from her dance career to write. Under her real name, Cindy McDonald, she writes murder-suspense and romantic suspense novels. In 2014 she added the pen name, C.S. McDonald, to write children\u2019s books for her grandchildren. Now she adds the Fiona Quinn Mysteries to that expansion. She decided to write the cozy mystery series for her young granddaughters, and has found that so many adults love them too.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. McDonald resides on her Thoroughbred farm known as Fly by Night Stables near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her husband, Bill, and her poorly behaved Cocker Spaniel, Allister.<\/p>\n<p><b>Connect with the author: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmcdonaldbooks.com\/\">Website<\/a> ~ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CSMcDonald7\">Twitter<\/a> ~ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AuthorCSMcDonald\/\">Facebook<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center;\"><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"color:#000080;\"><b>Enter the Giveaway!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">Ends June 3<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">\u00a0<a id=\"rcwidget_17fvrbzy\" class=\"rcptr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rafflecopter.com\/rafl\/display\/defcd44e280\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">a Rafflecopter giveaway<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><a style=\"margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/c62ec-iread2bwebsite2bnew2blogo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/c62ec-iread2bwebsite2bnew2blogo.jpg?w=300\" width=\"640\" height=\"104\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Fiona and the gang for a hot whodunit on the sandy beaches of Presque Isle, Pennsylvania!<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/05\/23\/waves-of-murder-a-fiona-quinn-mystery-by-c-s-mcdonald-giveaway-book-spotlight\/#more-6981\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading &#10142; <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Waves of Murder: A Fiona Quinn Mystery by C.S.
