About Me

Cindy Stodola Pomerleau
memoirist, essayist, blogger

Picture
I grew up in the tiny Jersey Shore town of Shark River Hills until I was thirteen, then moved to Northport on the north shore of Long Island. After earning a doctoral degree in English literature from the University of Pennsylvania, I directed an Oral History Project on Women in Medicine at the Medical College of Pennsylvania. After moving to West Hartford, Connecticut, I pursued an additional degree in psychology and neuroscience . I then spent the rest of my professional career on the research faculty of the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry, with a particular focus on cigarette smoking and nicotine dependence in women.

Whatever else I was doing in life, I continued to write books for adults and children, short stories, and newspaper and magazine articles. Having retired, I now devote full time to my "postprofessional career" of memoir- and essay-writing. I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan with Ovide, my husband of 57 years, and a cat named Domino who graciously allows us to share his home
. (Truth in labeling: The cat on the header is not Domino but one of his predecessors, Tabasco.) We have two daughters, two sons-in-law, two grandchildren aged 21 and 16, and four grand-cats.
