Cynthia Cantrell lives in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. She has a special affinity for animals and includes them in all of her novels. Cynthia has lived in many places, growing up in a military family. She graduated high school on Guam, USA in the late 70's, spent many years near the beaches of South Carolina, and will be visiting many of these childhood stomping grounds in future books.

Cynthia has a daughter and niece that keep her very busy when she's not creating an altered reality on paper. Animals are also a big part of her home life, the largest being a St. Bernard named Pogo that has the run of the house as he outweighs everyone else.
