Editor - Cynthia Shepp
Cynthia has always had a passion for reading. From a very young age, she knew that she wanted to grow up to be the person that got to read the books first. She followed that dream, graduating with honors from Grand Canyon University, receiving a BA in English/Literature. She has a special fondness for independent authors, as she applauds the gumption to realize your dreams on your own. If she had to pick a favorite genre of books, it would dystopian, but she loves them all. She loves living in the worlds that authors create, even if only for a short time.
Cynthia lives in Alabama with her husband and three rambunctious children, ranging in age from three to nine. Her dream allows her to stay at home with her children, do the job she loves, and be the mom she wants to be at the same time. She enjoys spending time with her family, iced coffee, camping, and pretending to love Auburn Tiger football with her husband.

Adminnosaurus Rex- Mandy Hawn
Ever since Mandy was in grade school she knew she would be a writer one day. It started with weekly vocabulary lists in the 5th grade. Instead of strictly adhering to the task of using each word in a sentence, she would fashion a story each week, stealthily weaving the vocabulary list in and amongst scary ghost stories or tall tales of turkeys finding their lost loves. Throughout the years since, her interests have broadened to include all manner of arts and sciences: drawing; painting; ceramics; word smithing; etymology; foreign languages; linguistics; anthropology; and now, web design, graphic design, and blogging. She is excited to be joining an industry that’s held interest for her since childhood, becoming a part of the writing community via the generosity of the CTP ladies, and will pretty much do whatever it is they need to be done. On a more personal note, she graduated from Augusta State University with a BA in French Language and Culture. She is a member of Alpha Mu Gamma, the national collegiate foreign language honors society. She enjoys all manner of outdoor activities with her husband that don’t involve heights or copious amounts of water.Email: [email protected]

Insta-Fabulous Admin- Lauren Dootson
Lauren has three children that are her life, but she does pretend to be an academic by going to St. Mary-of-the-Woods College for Journalism/Media Studies.
There is no such thing as too many books, and she always has a backup copy of them on her Kindle. She does have plenty of hard copies in case of the Zombie Apocalypes. She has a freak obsession with television crime dramas, and until she actually enrolled in college she planned on becoming a Forensic Psychologist. Her motto is, "Always have a backup plan for your backup plan."
