Cindy Emmet Smith resides in central Pennsylvania with her kilt-wearing husband. They enjoy traveling and recently explored the five Celtic Nations on the British Isles. Orkney was a highlight of this trip, even though its roots are Norse rather than Celtic. Cindy belongs to the West Branch Christian Writers and St. David's Christian Writers. She eagerly attends the Realm Makers Conference every year. She also writes poetry and short stories which have been included in numerous collections. She was delighted to have a story appear in the initial issue of Havok magazine, an imprint of Splickety Publications. You can find her in a house with no grass and gargoyles on the porch. A Cairn terrier guards the door.
