After high schoolCindy met and settled down with her partner and for many years they ran a farm, produced lumber, and raised cattle while working on rural community development projects. Her passion for writing began as early as eight years old but life was busy and writing only became a priority later in life.

Lily's Secret, launched in 2017, is the first in the series; Lily's Desert Adventure, the second, launched in 2019; and the third, Lily's Egypt Adventure, launched in 2022. Cindy moved to Halifax in 2013 and lived there until she passed away in October 2024, surrounded by loving family and friends. Her wish was for the Lily series to continue and the fourth, and final book in the series, Lily Returns Home, will be published posthumously in 2026. Read More Read Less
