What I’ve Built Along the Way
I’ve worn more hats than a runway model at Fashion Week—and every one of them taught me something bold, messy, or magical.
I’m the author of The Shadyside Novels, a bestselling fiction series rooted in confessions, resilience, and reinvention.
I built The No Fear Collection™ to help others step into their own reinvention—something I know a thing or two about.
Book 2: The Other Species — A love story gone volatile. Power wrapped in polish, a match to gasoline. This isn’t just a story about love. It’s about survival—and the secrets that wait in the heat of the flame.
Book 3: The Reel Crime — She made a deal with the devil—and signed it in red lipstick. A luxury film studio hides dark secrets beneath its glamour, where the next production might be her own funeral.
Book 4: From Coal Dust to Star Dust — An unsolved murder and generational grit pull Sophia back to her coal town past. Sometimes, the brightest glow comes from what you survived in the dark.
Book 5: Hot in the Kitchen — Pierogi, wine, and wild wisdom from women who’ve risen together. Part memoir, part recipe box, part love letter to every woman who’s ever reinvented herself at the kitchen table.
Dressing Room Confessions
Out Now!!
The debut novel that started it all. Cyndi opens the door on secrets, whispers, reinvention, and fierce female truth-telling. This novel dares readers to face the mirror and see what they've hidden.
Shadyside is more than just the name of their hometown; it's the saga of women's lives that delve into the erotic, secretive, and sensual aspects—their hidden dark sides.
Dressing Room Confessions unfolds within Sophia's fashion boutique, The Garden of Eden. The seemingly idyllic world of well-known women shatters as their concealed secrets come to light. As Sophia listens to their untold tales, she's inspired to reflect on every facet of her life, past and present, including her own shady side.
Some stories are based in truth, some in pure fantasy; the reader determines which are fact or fiction. The Shadyside series will have you in deep retrospect of your own life, while escaping into the juiciest of confessions.
