 About Cindy
Cindy was born
in Portland, Oregon and has lived all over the United States
and also in
Japan. She has visited Canada, the Philippines, Samoa and
New Zealand and the travels have given her an appreciation
of other cultures.
Cindy enjoys crocheting, reading, garage sales and other
hobbies along with volunteer work, which she performed with
the Red Cross and numerous other charitable organizations.
Writing has been, and always will be, the one true passion
that lights a fire deep down in her soul. Growing up, she
discovered she loved words and found that she had an
aptitude for stringing them together into sentences.
Over the years, she has won or placed in various writing
contests. She has also written for and edited numerous
newsletters. Additionally, she has sold several non-fiction
magazine articles to “True West” and “Wild West.” As she
raised her children, she always found time to read to them
and tried to instill her love of the written word into their
lives. She hopes to carry on this tradition with her
grandchildren.
Cindy currently lives in Cheyenne, Wyoming with her husband
Rich whose family has lived in the state for generations.
She has a grown daughter and son-in-law, two grown
step-daughters and two grown sons.
At one time, she had three poodles that matched the color of
her carpet. She now has one poodle-Shih Tzu mix that likes to
“eat” the carpet. Add to the mix two granddaughters who
keep everyone in stitches and as you can imagine, her home
is filled with lots of love and laughter.
In
addition to keeping track of her extended clan, which
includes three sisters, two brothers, her father,
step-mother and numerous nieces and nephews, Cindy works for
Laramie County School District 1 (LCSD1) in Cheyenne. She is
a marketing specialist in the district’s Community Relations
department and writes feature articles for the LCSD1 Public
Schools Chronicle, which has a circulation of approximately
40,000 readers. She has found that her family and friends
inspire her to explore human nature and she believes this
has enabled her to draw out all aspects of human behavior in
her books.
Her future goals include being able travel more as time
allows and to write, write, write. She constantly challenges
herself to develop more entertaining plots, characters and
settings. Nothing pleases her more than to be able to tell a
good story. If it touches someone’s heartstrings and makes
them laugh or cry, then she knows she’s done her job.
