Cindy grew up on a farm in the Midwest. During the summers books were the central draw of entertainment for the long summer days. Once all the books were read several times, Cindy would let her imagination go and make up her own stories. She would grab a bit of trivia from her young memories, and then create a fantasy world of ‘what ifs’. At the age of ten, Cindy decided that she wanted to be a writer. As she grew up and raised her family, Cindy dabbled in the writing world, but couldn’t find the solitude or devotion she felt was needed to focus on her writing. As Cindy became more and more dissatisfied with her successful life, she finally realized that she had to write. Writing was her passion, and writing was to be her life. She learned to steal a few minutes a day to allow herself to be whisked away into a world that knew no bounds, and that allowed her to see and create worlds where life’s passions always won over hardship. Cindy now writes for the sheer joy of seeing the words form on the paper. And the knowing that she has something to say that people want to hear. Cindy Butler divides her time with her animals, her extended family, her writing, and discovering and enjoying the natural beauty of New England.
