About Me

Hi, I'm Cindy, a small-town Minnesota native with international and multi-dimensional perspectives. I've lived in North Carolina for the last 30 years, raised my four boys here, and we all call it home. 

For the past twelve years I've been a developmental and line editor for hundreds of authors. ​See the testimonials page for just a few of the more than 1,200 unsolicited 5-star reviews received on FIVERR.com for my editing services. 

​

But the stories in my mind haunt my dreams, for

once the mind is stretched by a new idea, it can

never regain its original dimensions. 

 

And so I write into the night and fill the pages of each passing month, birthing characters and settings and dialogue, nurturing those stories until they come to life. I've also outlined several non-fiction books.

 

Maybe one day soon I will feel comfortable calling myself both editor AND author.

 

I am making progress! I've launched two picture books I wrote for my granddaughters:

 

​The Little Girl Who Talks to Trees on Nov. '23 and Scarlett & the Fairy Magic on Nov. '25.

​

I'm currently working on a 3-book series set on a barrier island here in NC that I want to launch in '26. The books lean toward women's fiction with a touch of romance. My protagonists transform through the story with threads of romance, spirituality, and sometimes either magical realism or speculative fantasy.  

I love helping others elevate their stories, so please reach out via my email address on the contact page on this site or through my service on Fiverr if you need an experienced Wordsmith.

 

Happy writing!
Cindy
