Born and raised in the vibrant streets of the Bronx, New York, the author, Cindy Santiago, is a proud mother of two daughters, now navigating the next chapter of her life nestled in Virginia. She shares her humble abode with two beloved pets; Charlotte—a dog with an affectionate spirit, and Jackson—a cat with a penchant for mischief.
During the day, she dons the mantle of an accountant, meticulously tending to the financial intricacies of a local home builder. But as the ledger closes and the calculator’s power down, she trades numbers for narratives, immersing herself in the infinite realms of creativity.
A true Marvel enthusiast and an avid hockey fan, she often finds herself enthralled by the heroics on screen and on the ice. It’s within these moments of thrill and excitement, between the cheers for her favourite characters and teams, that inspiration strikes.
In the peacefulness of her spare moments, she crafts stories as accurately as she balances accounts, weaving together the threads of imagination with the diligence of her trade. When not marvelled by the latest blockbuster or gripped by the rink’s cold drama, you can find her lost in a world of words or lovingly shaping her next crafting project.
Life’s accounting has taught her that every number tells a story, yet it’s in the quiet whimsy of her writing where her heart truly finds solace.
