As Time Goes By in Hell

About the Book

In As Time Goes By in Hell, Cynthia Wells redefines the universal concept of hell and weaves a gripping satire of violence, sex, betrayal and retribution.

The book revolves around two beautiful cousins, Veronica Howard and Kristen Leigh Abbott, who are leading members of Houston society. Although polar opposites, the two are bound by an innate, almost obsessive love for each other after they rise above poverty and survive sexual abuse. Veronica becomes one of the best defense lawyers in Houston, while Kristen uses the money of her four millionaire husbands to surgically enhance what nature had already given her. The lives of the pair are irrevocably altered when handsome and seductive lawyer Jason Ross returns to town. As a teenage victim, he had once captured Veronica’s sympathy in the most brutal case of her career. Murders, romantic triangles and shocking revelations are newly brewing and these result in unforgivable sins that send one cousin to burn in Hell. There she is forced to glimpse those she loved and whom she thought loved her, hurting all over again, only in a constant barrage of video replays.

With its intriguing characters and a gripping storyline, As Time Goes By in Hell will keep readers turning the pages until the final revelation is made.

All proceeds from the sale of this novel will be donated to the American Cancer Society, in loving memory of the author’s brother Gene and others who died to soon.

About the Author

Cynthia Wells recently retired from a forty-three year aerospace career supporting the NASA Johnson Spaceflight Center in Houston, where she managed the Shuttle and Space Station flight controllers. She read romance novels as a way of diffusing the tensions of space flight and deflating budgets. Her family never liked hearing those “boring” NASA space flight stories or appreciated her love of old movies. Maybe the sex and violence in this satirical romance will entertain them. Cynthia lives in Pearland, Texas with her husband of over forty years, Joe Wells. They are daily entertained by their miniature schnauzer Zach. Her only daughter Kristen has only been married once and definitely not to a millionaire.
