    Cynthia Johnson

    I am a middle-aged African American woman who is native to Oklahoma currently living in Texas. I have two beautiful and successful daughters and a handsome grandson. I enjoy reading, fishing, gardening, and writing. I feel that writing is my purpose and would love to become an inspiring author. I have been in the Counseling field since 2005 and love to guide people to live purposefully, but writing is my passion. It is the thing that brings me joy and I hope reading my work brings joy to my readers.
