Cyn was born and raised in Saint Paul, MN. Her passion for reading started before elementary school and grew as she did. When she reached high school, she discovered a newfound love of urban fiction. That love spread like wildfire until she decided to put pen to paper and create her own masterpiece. That was when The Urban Fairytale Series was born.

Now, she has immersed herself fully into the industry as an executive editor, professional typesetter, writing coach, and author. With a BA in creative writing and her MA underway, Cyn is well on her way to becoming a mastermind of her craft. Cynful Monarch was born through a combination of these talents and knowledge and will only continue to grow.
