About Donna St. Cyr

Donna St. Cyr

Donna St. Cyr

Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I love to get to the end of a good book. The problem is, once I begin a riveting story, I ignore everything else until I close the final cover. My devoted husband and loving children don’t mind this one bit; they possess similar obsessions. So, on any given day, with every nose in a book, dinner might not get cooked. It’s a good thing everyone loves cereal. When I’m not turning pages, I enjoy life in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where I have worked as a teacher and school librarian for over twenty years. I enjoy hiking, gardening, traveling, and cooking. My family doesn’t eat cereal every night.
