Cynthia has thought it all through and decided that in her next life she is going to be a mechanical physicist in order to make time travel possible so that she can come back to this life and start over.

A lover of history and literature, Cynthia has been writing professionally all her life as a copywriter, copyeditor, freelance writer (narrative history) and currently as senior staff writer and editor for a Fortune 300 Company headquartered in Charlotte, NC. BANYAN is her first (short) novel.

Born in Fayetteville, TN, Cynthia moved to Ft. Myers, FL, when she was six. Ft. Myers, specifically the Burroughs House in old Ft. Myers, is the setting for BANYAN, in which Cynthia makes a cameo appearance as a child.

So, why would Cynthia want to start this life over? To fulfill the dream of this life, a dream too often interrupted—to live a free, impassioned and adventure-filled life as a writer, at home and abroad, to be able to say of her life, as Dom Perignon is reputed to have exclaimed when he invented champagne, “My God. I’m drinking stars.”
