Cidney Mayes is a fantasy and romantasy author whose work weaves dark, lush, and atmospheric worlds with fierce heroines, forbidden knowledge, and destiny-defying love. Based in Portland, Maine, she is a teacher librarian, Yale Writers’ Workshop alumna, and MFA in Creative Writing candidate at Southern New Hampshire University. Before writing fiction, she spent over a decade reviewing books until she decided to write the ones she longed to find. She pairs her academic background with a devotion to storytelling to create stories that explore what it means to be our truest selves. When not writing, you can find her wandering wooded paths, playing boardgames, or watching reality TV with her husband and cats. Connect with her at cidneymayes.com.
