Cynthia Readnower was the owner of two franchise restaurants in the quick casual dining segment of the industry. She was involved in the business daily and performed all the functions of accounting, marketing, human resources and operations. During her six years in the business, she sometimes learned more than she wanted to know.

She is currently an author, columnist, owner of Skinny Leopard Media, and an award winning Life Coach. She spent years in sales and marketing positions for Fortune 500 companies and received her M.B.A. from the University of Dayton. Her interests span the gamut of changing the paradigm of how business is done, drawing out the potential in all people, and using creativity in all aspects of life.

Her first book encompassed her transition from seeing her family as “boring” to accepting that many secrets and scandals had been buried deeply in the family’s past and required exposure to end the cycle of mystery.

As a publisher, she enjoys helping authors create their work and seeing the project from beginning to end; the glimmer of an idea, the work to get it down on paper, hammering out the details, the finished project and the magical look on an author’s face as they hold their own book for the first time.
