Cynthia grew up in the Kentucky mountains, where you don't whistle at night and the safest houses have blue porches. She spins childhood tales into new stories, drawing on her background in Sociology and Psychology to explore the themes that haunt us most, which are usually the ones we inherit without asking, the ones that reshape themselves in every generation.
Her debut novel, The Lantern Keepers, is the first book in the Curses of Church Hill series. It is a story about generational trauma, the cycles that bind us, and how far someone might go to finally break free.
She lives now at the tree line, cornfields at her back and forest at her door, raising feral children, sheep, and chickens. By day she works in maternal and infant mortality research and bereavement care, tending to the stories of the lost. She knows some tales are too important to leave untold.
