Cindy Nichols

Cindy Nichols is a USA Today Bestselling author of warm, unforgettable stories about the families we're born into, the friends who become family, and the places that feel like home.

She launched her career with sweeping historical family sagas set in the American West, and has since brought her signature warmth to contemporary beach fiction — stories about women who get second chances at life and love, families that are richly woven together, and places where readers can get lost in...and feel found.

After a career in education, Cindy followed her lifelong love of story straight to the page — and never looked back. A mother of two and grandmother to one very cherished little girl, she lives in the West and finds her best ideas somewhere between sunrise and the next wave.
