As far back as she can remember, Cindy J. Smith has written poetry wherever life experience provided inspiration. Wife, mother and grandmother, she has a myriad of beautiful memories to draw from. Never having been good at playing the part of "starving artist", she has had many careers. Recently she retired from being an over-the-road truck driver with her husband, Dave, which provided different perspectives of the world in which we live. Cindy has published seven poetry books and a children's book. More of her poems appear in various anthologies as well as several books by fellow authors.
