About
Since she was a child, Cynthia craved anything that featured heroines with strong personalities. Now she writes books for sassy nerds with a sharp sense of humor. Starting her adult life in theater, she earned a Masters of Fine Arts in Costume Design, but her first love was telling stories. After some encouragement, she dove down the rabbit hole and created the Wyrd Love series.
When not telling tales about hot dragons and werewolves with tight behinds, Cynthia is an SCA geek and an amateur artist. She resides in sunny San Diego, California with her husband Max, two cats of varying intelligence, and a ton of goldfish.

Reviews
<p>“…This is a great story about finding true love when you're literally least expecting it, and going on to not merely survive, but THRIVE. It's funny, touching, and just a smidge bawdy-- y'know, like ALL good books should be!” – Stacy P.</p>
<p>“…This one knocked it out of the park! I found myself laughing out loud as well as wiping away tears. There is a genuineness to the characters that draw you in and more than enough saucyness to keep any romance reader entertained…” – Pam W.</p>
<p>“Author Cynthia Diamond takes us into a fantasy world of romance and never lets up until the last page.” – S. Dennis</p>
