Cortney CinoHello from sunny California! I'm Cortney, a picture book author and founder of Whimspire Books, LLC. (whimspirebooks.com). My inspiration for writing primarily comes from the three little blonde muses who call me "Mom." They entertain me daily with teir banter and boundless imagination. Most days, I navigate the world of life sciences marketing. Most nights, I embark on whimsical journeys through storytelling. I craft picture books that hopefully spark wonder in young minds, and it is SO MUCH FUN. Beyond my picture books, you might have stumbled upon my words in Huffpost or various marketing articles. When I'm not at my desk, you'll find me running on California's scenic trails, exploring new places with my family, or simply pausing for precious moments with my daughters and husband. I would be honored if you select The Lights That Stay or Piper's Pet Pursuit to read to your loved ones. If you enjoy it, I would be grateful if you would write a review. Thanks so much for stopping by this page! Read More Read Less
