About the Author

Cynthia is formally trained as a screenwriter, but as a high school science teacher
spent more time writing Power Points than anything else. She did occasionally find time to write and was the original ghost writer on Bill Bright’s “His Intimate Presence," a book on the Holy Spirit, published by New Life Publications. She also wrote the article "God Never Gives Up” for Worldwide Challenge magazine, the story of Mary Meyer’s family friend who once made a living singing for the New York Metropolitan Opera.


Cynthia retired from teaching high school science full-time in 2023. She couldn’t leave academics completely and still teaches an anatomy lab at a local university. But with more time these days, she has turned to writing a three-novel science fiction series. 


If you enjoy science fiction with engaging characters and a good story you might like the first planned novel in the series, “Gates of Telandra.” Below is a short synopsis.

​

An emergency stop on an unexplored planet lands Keely Alliman and three crew members of an interstellar craft in the middle of a war. The captain dead and the crew separated, Keely’s only hope of finding her missing crew member means teaming up with a local with an attitude.

​

Can she navigate the hazards of a forbidding new world? Will she find her missing crew member? How will she decide when faced with an impossible choice? A choice that will change her life forever.
