My Story

Behind the Words

My name is Cynthia Schmidt, and this is a sampling of some of my written work.
Raised in Shrub Oak, New York, my family visited the Adirondack mountains every year during my formative years. I grew up gazing into the universe from mountain tops and imagining different worlds. I like to believe that words, like stars in the night sky, offer endless possibilities, and with the right circumstances, can create an entire universe. In this sampling you will find some of my imaginings and a glimpse into my personal universe.
