Originally from Michigan, Cindy Koepp combined a love of pedagogy and ecology into a fourteen-year career as an elementary science specialist. After teaching four-footers (that's height, not leg count) she pursued a master's degree in adult learning with a specialization in performance improvement. Her published works include science fiction, fantasy, and GameLit novels; a passel of short stories; and a few educator resources. When she isn't reading or writing, Cindy is currently working as a tech writer, hat collector, quilter, crafter, and strange joke teller.
