edit data

Cindy Ojcyk is an award-winning writer, memorist, and lifelong pet foster whose work explores the emotional terrain of parenting, mental health, and the healing power of rescue animals. She uses storytelling to reveal the devotion we’ve shaped in pets as a mirror of the love and loyalty we long to give and receive.

Cindy lives near Minneapolis, Minnesota USA with her husband, a revolving cast of foster animals, and a few eccentric rescues who keep life interesting.

Her adult children, raised in a home full of fur, now tend to menageries of their own.

When Cindy is not writing or reading, she volunteers with animal and human welfare groups, tends to her little patch of native prairie, and walks in nature with whomever will accompany her.

For me, a book knocks it out of the park when I have to look things up. I loved having, “I didn’t know that moments” while reading Fission. Bonus points for this historical fiction told from underrepresented voices.

Pick Me is an easy page turner perfect for reading by the fire or the pool. The storyline and dialogue had a steady pace peppered with believable characters and enough steamy moments to keep things interesting. Enjoy!
