A pen, a book, a fire

About Me

Hello! I'm Cindy, a writer of short stories and novels. My first book, Blue Moon, will be coming out in 2007 and my second will be coming out a year after that. I am always looking for people who also treasure stories in any medium, folklore, movies, songs, anything that takes us into another world or another way of seeing. I also love history, crafts, costuming, and, most of all, books. Reading, hunting for them, just being in a room of them.
