Cindy Cipriano lives in North Carolina with her family and their 27 pets.

Not really.

Just two dogs who think they are children and three cats who think they are raccoons. It only seems as if they make 27. When Cindy isn't writing, she enjoys spending time with her family and the avoidance of cooking. 

Cindy is the author of The Fading Series, The Sidhe Series, and Miller's Island Mysteries.

On Fading:

"Transcending genre cliches, this series opener unfolds with a gripping emotional intensity, raising expectations for future installments." - Kirkus Reviews

Leath Elliott is a seventeen-year-old competitive shooter living with her mother in Woodvine, NC. Leath's father was killed in a tragic accident when she was fourteen, and her friend, Victor Santana has been there every step of the way since.

Leath is captivated by him and wonders if he might be the boy of her dreams - literally.
