Welcome to L S Cauldwell's

A little bit about me...
I think about my life and look back at the path that led me to the place in which I find myself. I did not excel in academics. In fact, to the contrary, I resisted school and did not push myself socially or academically. I attended college, received an Associate's Degree, but never finished my degree in Pathology and Audiology.
Life led me, as I was not at the time really leading my life, into an early, unhappy marriage resulting in the birth of a lovely child who I soon began raising as a single parent. Drifting through life, trying to make a living as best I could, struggling with health issues, I began writing. I've written four books and seen three of them published.
I have had limited success in marketing my books, but have enjoyed the rewards that writing brings. The craft has seen me through difficult times by allowing me to sort through things as I transfer my thoughts to the page. My latest book will be released in September, 08 - the first book in The Anna Mae Mystery series - The Golden Treausre. I wanted to write a book that would inspire girls to do more with their 'tween and teen lives than use cosmetics, wear short skirts, and get pregnant. I wanted girls to recognize that there's a world out there and that they should aim for the top just like the boys do.
All of this has led me to a place in my life, thanks in part to my husband whom I married in 1989, where I can reach for the stars myself. I have overcome the odds, grown as a person, and am surrounded by friends - all of which gave me the courage and determination to create my own radio network - Passionate Internet Voices Talk Radio, Inc. The network, started in 2005, has grown tremendously through lots of hard work, terrific co-workers, great partners and my own sense of self worth, a hard earned state of mind. It's my way of giving back to those who have been there for me - from our fine military to the many authors who have supported my efforts to the great audience who keeps me going.
Now I know the sky is the limit and I have high hopes for the success of my Anna Mae Mystery series and the growth of PIVTR.
Thank you all!
Move over Nancy Drew,
there's a new girl in town!
An Anna Mae Mystery Excerpt:
I shuddered as we tramped through the hallway. Bleak, green water-stained walls greeted us as if we were old friends. Warped metal locker doors creaked on rusty hinges as they popped opened. The mismatched green-tinted cracked floor tiles held firm beneath our sneakered feet. Water dripped down the concrete walls. The building smelled like a garbage dump; an obnoxious blend of stale cigarette smoke, marijuana, and unwashed bodies.
Breathing through parted lips, I tried not to inhale the foul sulfur blend. Raul clapped his hands over his mouth. He snorted. It sounded like a cross between a dry cough and a gag.
The stench followed us down the hall to Ms. Yolanda's homeroom, our sanctuary for the next nine months. Raul reached out and opened the classroom door. It moaned as it opened. I trudged into the room, clutching my chest...
