Some people run board meetings. I run with big ideas, silly titles, and a love for storytelling that sneaks life lessons into every tale. Through faith-friendly, STEM-and-SEL-sprinkled adventures, I help kids explore who they are and who they’re becoming—without them realizing they just learned something awesome.
 
Meet Cindy
Hi, I’m Cindy Lynn Sawyer. My mission? Building brighter futures for kids—one quirky, meaningful, STEM-and-SEL-packed story at a time. I write faith-friendly fiction that sneaks in character-building truths and educational tidbits… kind of like hiding veggies in spaghetti. 
 
Where Stories Start
Whether it starts with a silly phrase I blurt out mid-sentence or a random “what if” that crashes into my brain during a walk, my stories always begin with wonder and grow into adventures designed to spark imagination and soul-deep resilience. My books might not always preach, but they do point to purpose, hope, and a God who loves every child deeply.
