About Cyndie

I love to write because it uncovers the core of what and why. I love to travel because I learn through experience - my life is a lab experiment. 

I'm currently an editor for Magnolia Review and working on my memoir, Oreos, Red Wine, and a Hot Bath, about my journey from being an orphan in Central Montana to becoming the first female Design Engineer at 3Com, a premier Silicon Valley networking company - back in the day. And how sometimes all a person really needs to get over a setback is a soak in the tub and some sugar. 

My husband and I live in the Bay Area with our two rescue pups, Nala and Leo.
