Cynthia O’Brien has lived and worked in Canada
and England, and travelled across the Atlantic
Ocean many times, though luckily not aboard
a 16th century ship! She’s written many books
about explorers, but she’s also written about
lost treasures, extraterrestrials, and inventions.
When she’s not writing, she likes to go on her
own explorations off the beaten track.
