So, it was important to create such a world for her own readers to indulge in.Cyndi lives in Eastern PA and loves to travel and enjoy life with her hubby of 40+ years. She has 3 grown children and loves to spend time with her grands whenever possible.Don't forget to sign up for the mailing list to get a free copy of the exclusive short read: Miss Addie, the Beginning.
