   #37. Cindy Prieto Shares the Story Behind Margaret Ann and the Reckoning

   Writing is both a craft and a calling, and author Cindy Cortez Prieto has spent years honoring both. The character Margaret Anne was born in a classroom.

That moment sparked a passion that would eventually lead to the creation of Margaret Anne and The Cemetery Kids series. In this episode, Lisa M. Umina sits down with Cindy to discuss the writing journey, the pursuit of creative dreams, and the enduring power of a great story.
