About the Author
Cynthia A. King is an author who specializes in writing fiction that speaks directly to the experiences of mature women. A married empty nester, Cynthia draws inspiration from the challenges and joys that come with life after menopause. Her stories focus on real-life issues such as cheating spouses, adult children who refuse to leave home, ageism, illness, and the financial pressures that many women face. Cynthia’s characters tackle these situations with humor, grace, and, when necessary, a sledgehammer—literally or figuratively.
A Unique Perspective
Cynthia’s writing offers a refreshing take on chick-lit for the mature woman, where the fantasy of Prince Charming often gives way to the reality of flawed relationships. Her stories are filled with richly developed characters who find themselves in absurd yet relatable situations. Whether it’s dealing with a toad in a custom suit or navigating the complexities of middle age, Cynthia’s characters embody the strength, wit, and resilience of women who have lived, loved, and learned.
A Rich Source of Inspiration
Growing up in a large Catholic family with four siblings, and married to Tom, who comes from an even bigger family with seven siblings, Cynthia has a deep well of (dysfunctional) material to draw from. This background fuels her passion for creating books that are rich in characters facing life’s challenges. An animal lover, Cynthia often includes a dog or cat in her stories, sometimes making them the sanest characters in the room.
Writing for Women Like Herself
Cynthia’s daughter, a writer and social media expert, humorously refers to her mother’s niche as “the angry post-menopausal woman.” Whether or not the label fits, Cynthia embraces the idea that her stories resonate with a specific audience—women who have faced the ups and downs of life and come out stronger on the other side. Her books are perfect for a beach read or for passing the time during a layover, offering an enjoyable escape into the lives of women who tackle life’s challenges head-on.
