About the Author
Cindy Millet Bowles (aka CILLYart) has been creating picture stories and enjoying children's books, especially fairytales, since she can remember! Her mother said that she was almost named "Cinderella" when Cindy was born because Cinderella was her mother's favorite fairytale. Mom "chickened out" at the last minute and named her Cindy instead. Relieved to not have had to live up to the name of Cinderella, Cindy takes after her mother because it is also her all-time favorite fairytale! Cindy is the 7th child out of 8 children in her family and was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona. She loved camping and traveling with her family and was able to serve 18 months as a church missionary in Santiago, Chile. There she learned Spanish and also to love and enjoy many cultures and peoples. Cindy's family also called her "silly Cindy" as a young child because she loved to be silly, have fun and help others laugh and smile. She has always loved drawing silly, "cutsie" pictures for herself, her six children and others. CILLYart has since become her pen-name! Cindy lives with her husband in Tempe, AZ and is a mother of 6 children, grandmother of 4 and a sister and aunt to many wonderful people! Her greatest joy is her family and how they inspire her! As a certified teacher with early childhood education experience, Cindy has used her passion of reading, writing stories and illustrating them to strengthen the learning of her own students. "A Magical Maiden and A Minstrel" is her second published children's book and her own original fairytale. She hopes it brings you great joy in reading it and dreaming of other wonders you can experience!
