After working for decades as a journalist and editor, Cindy Mines joined the Kansas Authors Club to help expand her writing horizons to fiction. She has also had two nonfiction articles published in 105 Meadowlark Reader and won third place for memoir in the 2024 KAC contest.
She began publishing The Wichita Times and Travel Kansas magazine in 1993 after writing/editing positions at Wichita State University and the Wichita Business Journal. She continues to publish Travel Kansas as an annual magazine.
Freelance projects have included three published books on Kansas history (one was named a Kansas Notable Book) and travel writing for a variety of publications. She loves to research though admits that being overly thorough can be just an excuse to procrastinate writing – except, of course, the time it was absolutely necessary to criss-cross the state to consume 13 complete fried-chicken dinners as preparation to write an article on Kansas fried chicken for the Los Angeles Times Magazine.
She earned a master’s degree in English from Wichita State University and resides with her husband and dog south of Lindsborg.
