Cyndie "CJ" Zahner is a digital-book hoarder, lover of can't-put-down books, runner, author, and Mensa wannabe. That last trait explains the inspiration for her first novel, The Suicide Gene. Her second book, Dream Wide Awake, was inspired during long runs on Presque Isle State Park in her hometown of Erie, Pennsylvania. She is a proud mother of three and an even prouder grandmother of one.

I'm writing a memoir about the effects of a drug called Diethylstilbestrol (DES) on my life and the lives of others, while at the same time, working on The Dream Snatchers. The Dream Snatchers is the reader-requested sequel to what is fast becoming my most popular book, Dream Wide Awake.
Oh! And of course, I'm read, read, read, read, reading. (My new read crush is Fredrik Backman. Who's yours?)
Happy reading!
