Defuria, Cindy: - Cindy Defuria has been an ELA elementary school teacher for over ten years. She enjoys the entire process of writing: pre, drafting, and revisions. She has designed and implemented a linear web that she likes to use in the classroom. Cindy has tried to instill her love of writing in her students and has had successes. Through trial and error, she learned that writing is a gift, it is how you approach it that makes it an art. This is her first book, and hopefully the start of many more to come.
