H. C. Cisneros is a lifelong creator and storyteller rooted in the steady streets of La Puente, California. With a professional background spanning over twenty-five years in the fashion industry, she developed a refined gift for rebuilding, reimagining, and restoring—skills she now brings to her literary work.
As a Contemporary Narrative Poet and the founder of Eta Books, Cisneros focuses on the "unvarnished" translation of life’s most complicated bonds. Her writing is deeply informed by her experiences as a young caregiver and her observations of the "grit and grace" found within her community in the San Gabriel Valley.
A mother of three and a devoted observer of the human spirit, she writes to provide a "haven" for those navigating family trauma, sisterhood, and the journey toward healing. The Sovereign Cat is her debut collection, representing a powerful "test to testimony" and the rediscovery of a long-silenced voice. She lives in Southern California with her husband of nearly three decades.
