This is Cindy Strandvold. She writes middle-grade books because she thinks stories for that age are the most fun. Cindy has one husband, two kids, and three real cats. We all live in a 115-year-old house in Colorado.
Besides ME, some of her favorite things include books, old houses, warm chocolate chip cookies, naps, and new socks.

Does Cindy feed you realy good so you can be a happy little Siamise cat? I have a ginea pig and
um… I feed him a carrot every morning before I go to school and he the fattes thing! LOL (Laughing Out Loud) His name is Twister because he a big mohock and he has a twist of brown,black,white,ect. Not purpe or any of thoes ordonary colors. Put on that cap that makes you able to talk to peaple and tell Cindy that I sure hope that she can find a publisher for her book.
Thank you, I will do that. I’d love for kids everywhere to get to read my book, maybe even kids in other countries! Wouldn’t that be cool if they printed it in Japanese!
Yes that would be cool! 🙂 I am a realy big fan of you and I think you are realy
sweet. I just wanted to get this strait, Cindy is you personal owner?
I think you must be a little mixed up. Humans do not own cats. Cats own humans!
My dog Baxter is really fat!!! It’s funny because when you goes to jump off the couch he just plops onto the floor! ROFL (rolling on floor laughing)
Wow, that makes me laugh, too! Maybe Baxter should go on a diet!
My book is about justin bieber and he is a famous singer and i like him i love him sow sow much
Lots of my fans like Justin Bieber, too. But I think they like ME a little better!
Jay, remember me from Oklahoma. I just got home yesterday. I loved seeing you there. Hope you get back on this blog sometime. Flash is fun to read about. There are lots of comments about Justin Bieber on one of the October posts.
Flash, do you think Mortimer could invent a time machine so you could go back and meet the people who built your 113 year old house? I bet you could meet lots of interesting cats back then tool
I’ve always thought old Mortie should build a time machine! Cindy likes time travel stories too, but she says they’re hard to write. I think she should put a little effort into it, don’t you?
I own a ginia pig and I at first I thought that I owned him not that he owned me. If he ownes me he probley tells all of his friends that I am a pain in the butt for him. I am realy mixed up now. LOL
Sounds like you’re finally getting it straight. Humans think they own everything!
I fell sorry for you that you are getting tooken over with humans. I wouldn’t treat
you like others do.You know when you put your email in to get um…….. updates on
the book? I put my email in there and I woundered if you were the one emailing the people
the updates on the book. I emailed whoever emailes the updates back.
No I don’t know. Do you mean entering your e-mail to subscribe to my blog? That means when I put up a new post like I did today about the revisions you get an e-mail showing you that post.
Oh, ok now I get it.Do you have your own e-mail?
No, you just have to talk to me on my blog.
Whats your favorite food?
Meatloaf from Ringo’s dumpster. Yumscious!
Flash do you have any sibilings or cousins cause i have thousands i bet mabye you have alot of members cause you are FAMOUS!
I don’t know! I was taken away from my family when I was very young. But cousins sound fun!
is cindy your favorite person?
She’s my favorite real person. Eric is my favorite character person.
what kind of cat is the general?
He’s a full-blooded Siamese.
I had a male Siamese cat hang around my house for about 1 whole week! Aint
that cool?
That is cool. There is a Siamese cat that sometimes comes around our house, too! Cindy always wonders if it’s The General!
well are you cindys favorite cat or siamese cat?
Of course I’m Cindy’s favorite cat! I’m everybody’s favorite cat!
This is a cool website
Why thank you! I think so, too!
haha lol so do you sit in a chair and replie to everyone that tells you something
Pretty much. Sometimes my paws get tired of typing one letter at a time and I have to take a break!
oh my fingers get tierd to but do you ruin the keyboard with your paws? Just wondering:]
No, I’m very careful to stick out one claw to push the key. It takes a lot of talent, but then I’m a pretty talented cat!
thanks for cating with me
I hope Cindy can come to our school BES before it is over
I don’t think there’s time this year. But maybe you could ask your teacher to invite her next year?
Hi grabriella
You’re welcome!
OOO, Cindy looks like a really pretty lady!!!!!! (Oh I have met her in person too) And uh Flash who are the cats the cats that live with u?
You mean the real cats that live with Cindy and her family? Their names are Molly and Misty and you’re not going to believe this: Flash. That was a pretty stupid choice because everyone gets messed up whether they are talking about ME, Mr. Cool, or the real Flash, Mr. Pansy.
hey flash would you like to be a humen or just like you are
Cats are the superior species, so I’d want to stay a cat. But sometimes I do wish I had opposable thumbs!
hey about cindy, do you know when cindy wrote her book
Yes, she very first started the story about three years ago.
oh who is the book coming
i mean how
Pretty good now. You’ll have to read my post tomorrow to find out more.
I heard that you dont ringo on your website i kinda agree or you should let him do a couple of comments but more of YOU!
I decided to let Ringo post every now and then. But not too often!
Dear Flash, could you ask Cindy if she could make a unfattener for me because my cat is fat!!!!! Also something funny he does is roll on the floor and asks me to rubb his chubby tummy!!!!!!!
What a good idea! If Mortimer could invent an unfattener I bet he would get rich!
Oh Flash it’s me again Miss.Sugar and I meant to say a unfattener in her book for my fat cat.!!!!!!!!!…….LOL LOL [ laugh out loud ]….!!!!!!!!…..
Yeah, that’s what I figured.
i agree!!!!
You mean you have a fat cat, too?
What does Cindy feed you?
Cindy doesn’t actually feed me anything, because I’m really a figment of her imagination! But in the story Eric tries to feed me Tasty Nibbles–yuck! Everyone knows Tasty Nibbles taste like sawdust!
They think they are tasty but they are really yucky! My friends cat says “I agree with flash they are yucky!”
See? Cats know the truth about those yucky pet foods, but you humans don’t listen!
I would listen to u if I could understand u.
Maybe you should study cat language. Do you know what it means when we lay our ears back?
I found out this really cool design.

I am just really adverterous. LOL
Then I guess you’ll think of some way to keep busy. Like visiting ME on my blog!
I can do that too.
I hope you do lots of other fun stuff, too.
That is a cool design, Anna. How long did it take you to make it?
Only like 4 or 5 minutes. It is easy and simple.
candy is so nice i cant bleve it
She is pretty nice, isn’t she?
ya she is pretty
sorry i what on but she is prity
how are u Flash?
I’m good. How are you? It’s good to have you visit my blog! What do you think?
i hope the book is coming along well.
Thanks! Writing is hard work sometimes.
hi cindy, having any luck?
Not yet. But that’s the way these things go, very slowly!
I think this is an excellent way to getting children to read also. Jalyneclonts is my grand daughter and she comes here daily to see if any one has commmented back to her. Keep up the good work cuz.
Good to hear from you! Tell her to check again, sorry for the delay!
My house is about that old too!
Cindy loves old houses! That’s why there is a funny old house in my story.
