Cynthia has been involved in education—as a student, teacher, researcher, policymaker, developer, trainer, and writer—since she was in pre-school. Mostly what she taught, both to kids and adults, is how to ask questions and how to find answers. She continues to do both of these in writing for young people.

The question, “How do we know when we’re home?” led to her two published stories--”On the Doorposts of Ellie’s House” in Highlights and “Be-longing,” in The Mailbox, a reader. It also led to the middle-grade novel she’s been working on obsessively for 18 months about how we know we’re at home inside ourselves.

She continues to hope that, despite 23 rejections, someday Mr. Bellow will find his cello.
