“The book—TRICKED—is written from the perspective of an African American woman who is neither stereotypically angry nor a product of poverty. Minor uses first person narratives to weave a thrillingly suspenseful story about a brilliant mathematician, educated at Florida A & M, the Wharton School and Penn Law, who discovers loopholes in the way securities are traded. She formulates an idea, where those trades can be used against us all. While her discoveries provoke her to close the holes, a series of life shattering secrets held together by self interested conspirators, she calls family, friends and mentor begins to emerge. She becomes hounded for what she knows and hunted for who she is.

“The book is available on Barnes&Noble.com, Borders.com, Amazon.com and on our website at www.RoseapplePublishing.com.

“Minor has book signings scheduled in Chicago, Milwaukee, Nashville, Memphis, Atlanta, Washington DC, San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Raleigh, Dallas & Houston. For image of author, jpeg of cover or additional information, please email Desi Smith at desismith@rosepplepublishing.com.

About the Author: “I was born to write,” she told friends in Gary, Indiana, the youngest child of a steel worker and school teacher. Cynthia A. Minor dreamed of becoming an author at a very young age. An observer by nature, she read everything she could, including the dictionary and telephone books. Smart by all accounts, she was often sent to the library for talking in class. Unbeknownst to most teachers, it wasn’t the punishment they intended. Instead, it was a joyous and perhaps calculated experience. She was surrounded by her favorite things. Books. Her high school librarian noticed her fondness for Keats, Browning, Dumas; the literary greats and encouraged her appetite for the illustrative works while challenging her to read literature of all types and always under the threat of being tossed out. “You can never know too much, unless you already know everything,” Ms. Anna Conner explained. “These literary giants are no smarter than you. I believe you can write a book that I’ll be proud of one day, if you would just stop talking and write!” This challenge lived for many years before she wrote her debut novel “TRICKED.”
