Debut
Cheri Laser’s first novel is a seductive page-turner full of emotion and intrigue, rich with characters that are vividly painted, funny and poetic.
The lives and mysteries of an immigrant family are bound to American history as the 20th century’s complexities unfold. The past reaches out to claim Megan Cole in 1988 when her grandmother shares with her the intimate details of her ancestry.
Traveling from one time setting to another, Megan discovers a collection of people not soon forgotten. Vibrant and three-dimensional, the characters love, laugh and hurt one another, while misunderstandings and secrets lead them into tragedy. Yet there is no shortage of joy, despite their troubles, as the years progress, until the accumulation of secrets finally explodes, with horrific consequences for the family.
In the end, when The Truth About Cinnamon is fully revealed, Megan realizes that nothing about her own life will ever be the same again.
i’ll get a copy as soon as possible
The Truth About Cinnamon was my first novel. Separation of Faith is the new one (ust released in September 2010), and I recommend getting that one first. It’s only $14 on Amazon and a lot shorter than Cinnamon. So, if you’re going to get one of my books to start learning about my writing, get the new one (Separation of Faith), which will warm you up for the first one.
Let me know what you end up doing. –Cheri
Thanks so much! I’d love to get your input. And let me know when/if you do get a copy. I can send you an autographed sticker to put inside the cover.
Meanwhile, keep me posted on whatever you decide to do with your blog!

hey!! remember me? you had given me some advice on how to write my ‘about’ page and how to decide what i want to do with my blog.
i finally got around to it and i wrote a whole new ‘about me’ page. i have also decided that my blog will be about writing- and about improving your content.
thanks a lot for your help!!
oh btw, still didn’t get around to reading your book. but i’ll do that soon too
hope its going well for you.
Hi! Yes, I do remember you, and I’m so happy that you’re making such great progress on your journey. Thanks for checking back in to give me an update.
There are two books of mine for you to read now, you know. The first (The Truth About Cinnamon) is finally out in a re-edited Second Edition. And the newest (Separation of Faith) was just released last September. Sales go up and down, but every single book purchased makes a huge difference. So I deeply appreciate each and every reader who takes a chance on my writing and my stories.
If you’re going to start exploring my work, I would recommend beginning with Separation of Faith (paperback only $14 on Amazon). You can check out all the wonderful reviews posted on Amazon. Once you finish that novel, which reads quickly, you’ll be all set for Cinnamon, which is a saga, longer, and with more characters. Although there are a lot of readers who’ve read both books and still say that Cinnamon is their favorite, I think that starting with Separation of Faith would be a good idea.
Let me know if you decide to get one or the other. I’ll look forward to receiving your input, and I’ll await further updates on your own progress.
Meanwhile, thanks so much again for staying in touch with me! Have a wonderful week!

Hi! I chose WordPress for my blog because it’s all template based and thus is great for new bloggers. Gets you up and running very quickly, even when you don’t know what you’re doing.
I must get your novel. I’m really curious!

Hi, Edward! Thanks so much for reaching out! Please let me know if you decide to take a chance on one or both of my novels. I think you were most interested in The Truth About Cinnamon, which was my first endeavor. Separation of Faith is the most recent and the one that has now placed in a dozen contests. Cinnamon is a multi-generational mystery saga about an Irish-Italian immigrant family in the New York area. Separation of Faith also has a mystery as its core and is about a messed up family. Both are available on Kindle as well as soft and hard cover print options. So please keep me posted if you bring one (or both
) home! And thank you again for visiting my blog! All the best. –Cheri
