Cindy Ray Hale is actively seeking... 

Cindy Ray Hale is seeking clean and closed-door romance across a variety of genres. She’s especially drawn to romantasy and fantasy romance featuring dragons, fae, and lushly imagined worlds where love and adventure intertwine. She also loves epic fantasy with strong romantic threads, full of heart, danger, and emotional depth.

On the contemporary side, Cindy is looking for romantic comedies, cowboy romances, billionaire love stories, and beach romances that make readers laugh, swoon, and escape into warm, hopeful worlds. She enjoys stories with strong character growth, clever banter, and emotionally satisfying happily-ever-afters.

Cindy acquires stories that are clean or closed-door, with no explicit content, and prefers manuscripts that focus on connection, heart, and hope. She is not a fit for  dystopian, horror-based, or grounded in hard science fiction.

Above all, Cindy loves stories that blend heart, humor, and emotional resonance—the kind of romance that reminds readers why they believe in love.
