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. 

As they say... nothing's finer than Carolina!

I've romanced the written word for most of my life. Poetry, short stories, essays, life writing, and a few published magazine articles. While working for the state as a public information officer I wrote for the public and the general assembly.

 

But for the past ten 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.  And let's not forget all the non-fiction books in various stages of completion that fill files on my computer.

 

Maybe one day, with a score of books bearing my name, I will feel comfortable calling myself both

editor AND author.

 

I am making progress! 

 

​The Little Girl Who Talks to Trees launched Nov. '23.

Hearts on the Beach is currently in the deep editing stage and will be ready to launch in '25 just before beach season. It's the first of what I think will be a three-book series.

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
