About Cynthia C. DeFelice

She was born in 1951 in Philadelphia. When she was a child, she was always reading something. Summer break always started with a trip to the bookstore, where she and her brothers and sister were allowed to select books for their summer reading. For her, these trips to the bookstore were even better than those rare occasions when they were handed a quarter and turned loose at the penny-candy store on the boardwalk. Cynthia has worked as a school librarian, bookseller, a storyteller, and a barn painter. When she gets asked what she loves the most about being an author, she cannot pick just a single answer. She loves the feeling of getting caught up in the lives of the characters that she is writing about. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Devil's Bridge Books series, Cynthia C. DeFelice has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
