About me

My name is Cynthia Wall and I live with my husband and five cats on ten acres in Salem, Oregon. We are both retired college teachers and now operate a wholesale nursery that specializes in shrubs and ground covers.

I've published before - articles, short stories, and several young adult novels on the subject of amateur radio - http://www.stevejensenconsultants.com/cindys_books.html.

My interests besides writing include swimming, the French language, travel, reading, and cooking. I've recently been appointed as a Travel Channel Steward for the Northwest which means that I'm offering my help to authors writing on travel subjects. Writing is one of the greatest journeys anyone can take and I look forward to hearing from you along the way.
