About

Freelance journalist | reviewer | blogger | author

Cendrine Marrouat was born in Toulouse, southern France, in the late 1970s. She holds a bachelor’s degree in English-to-French translation that she received in 2001 from the Université of Toulouse-le Mirail. Two years later, she moved to Canada and became the first member in her family to permanently settle in a foreign country.

Cendrine has extensive experience in the writing field. Deemed completely bilingual (French and English), she began her career as an independent artist, focusing on poetry and spoken word. She published five collections, recorded a CD, and wrote two plays that she hopes to direct someday.

However, Cendrine’s calling is in the social media field, where her unique insight allows her to create and share content that is both educational and easy to read. Her articles have appeared in a number of websites and blogs, including Examiner.comDigital JournalBlogcriticsTechnorati, and WAGTi Radio.

Cendrine is the founder of Creative Ramblings, a social media blog focusing on independent artists and entrepreneurs rather than big businesses.

Description

<span style="line-height:115%;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Peter and the Whimper-Whineys is about a small rabbit who whines all the time. His mother cautions him that if he keeps on whining and crying, he’ll have to go live with the Whimper-Whineys. One night Peter hops into the dark forest.<span>  </span>He meets some Whimper-Whineymen and discovers that not only do the Whimper-Whineys whine all the time, but they are very ill-mannered and rude. He discovers that everything is sour in Whimper-Whineyland and decides his mother was right! If only he can get back home… a recent critique, “Though there are other books out there for children about whining, I cannot imagine any parent or guardian not wanting to read this book to their child!... <span> </span>Parents everywhere applaud you!” </span></span>

Story Behind The Book

Simply put, "Five Years and Counting. A Journey into the Mind of Soul Poetry" is a unique concept. I regrouped more than 160 of my poems in a specific order to show that poetry is a reflection of the human mind. The book is about the growth and evolution that we experience as individuals, but also as a people at large.
