Cindy Stodola Pomerleau grew up in the tiny Jersey Shore town of Shark River Hills until she was thirteen, then moved to Northport on the north shore of Long Island. She attended Smith College, where she earned B.A. in English, followed by a master's degree from Columbia and a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, both in 18th century English literature. Graduating during an employment drought in the humanities and unable to pursue the career she had spent so long preparing for, she accepted a position as Director of the Oral History Project on Women in Medicine at the Medical College of Pennsylvania and her life started down a different path. After moving to West Hartford, Connecticut, she pursued an additional degree in psychology and neuroscience and then spent the rest of her professional career on the research faculty of the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry, with a particular focus on cigarette smoking and nicotine dependence in women. Whatever else she was doing in life, she continued to write books for adults and children, short stories, and newspaper and magazine articles. Having retired, she now devotes full time to her "postprofessional career" of memoir- and essay-writing. She lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan with Ovide, her husband of 57 years, and a cat named Domino who graciously allows us to share his home. They have two daughters, two sons-in-law, two grandchildren aged 21 and 17, and four grand-cats.

No, it is not a pen name, but amazon.com thinks it is. For more of her books, head on over to the Cindy Stodola Pomerleau page at Amazon Author Central.
