Cynthia L. Moyer spends her days raising kids and weaving tales in the
southwest corner of Washington. A Midwestern girl who fell in love with the
Pacific Northwest many, many years ago, she has since lived on an Indian Nation
above a bay full of whales and otters, in a dollhouse with a pink sewing room,
in a purple Victorian twenty minutes from the beach, on a flowery acre under a
misty mountain, and now she and her family share their home in the trees with a
pack of wild bunnies in the backyard.
In her life she has worked carving ducks out of wood with a burning
tool, doing calligraphy, and as a dishwasher in a dinner theater. She was
pulling espresso in Seattle before the rest of the country even knew what it
was. She’s been a nanny, cleaned houses, and was a short order cook at the
oldest coffeehouse in Seattle during its day, The Last Exit on Brooklyn. She
did the grocery store thing, the office supply store thing, the gift shop
thing, the deli thing, and was a newspaper reporter for years, and although she
never worked in a bookstore, she always wanted to.
She now decorates cakes and
colors comic book art, designs all kinds of things, makes amazing bento
lunches, misses having chickens in her backyard, and totally and completely
loves Doctor Who.
