About Me

Cecilia Dominic is my secret identity. When you’re tall with curly red hair, having a secret identity is extra challenging, but I rarely do things the easy way. By day, I help people fix their problems, and by night, I create thorny situations for my characters to get themselves out of. Sometimes I even make them figure out how to cooperate, but not in an annoying group project kind of way. On any given day, it’s a toss-up as to whether my patients or my characters are less cooperative, which is why I drink a lot of wine and sometimes blog about it – the wine, not my patients. I live in a corner of Atlanta, Georgia, which is known for its great dining and drinking, so that works out well. I also love to travel.
