I am Cynthia M.

I was born in 1975, in a place so small it doesn't appear on the map. Maybe that's why I learned early on to look for bigger worlds: I found them in books, and then in the words I began to write.

For years I wrote in the dark, for myself. Then I understood that stories are meant to be shared. And so Lyra Falconis and the Core of Tomorrow was born – a journey into the wonder that blossoms from fragility – along with Memo of Thoughts – a gift for young people, so they can learn to be strong without losing their sensitivity.

Publishing on your own is like shouting in the desert. I shout every day. Sometimes silence answers. But I keep going, because stories are like children: even when no one looks at them, you never stop believin

Hi Michael,
thank you so much for your message — it truly made me happy. You're right, it wasn't really a question; it was more like opening a door and saying "come in, if you're curious." But I appreciate your attention and your kindness.
I saw that you've written 28 books, and for children too — how wonderful! It must be beautiful to enter that world every day, and especially to be able to go back to being a child in order to write stories they can love. I'll try, following your advice.
You know, I also added one of your books to my "to-read" list. I can't wait to discover your world.
Thank you again for stopping by my desert — as you can see, every now and then someone passes through, and it makes all the difference.(less)

The Silence After the Book. Thoughts of a self-published writer that no one reads (yet)

I'll admit it: I'm tired.

I've written two books. Lyra Falconis and the Core of Tomorrow and Memo of Thoughts. There's a third one waiting, closed in a digital drawer, as shy as me.

And I've tried. I really have.

Social media, reading groups, review requests, the blog, a post here and there. I've asked with my heart in my hands, with the shyness of someone who doesn't want to bother but needs to be h Read more of this blog post »

Phenomenon was “subject of a full intel study in 1951. The conclusions reached (based on Occam’s razor) were that all the incidents rptd could be explained by one or other following causes… The Americans who carried out a similar investig in 1948/49 reached a similar conclusion. Nothing has happened since 1951 to make Air Staff change their opinion…the same is true in America
