Cindy Villanueva has a unique combination of talents: She’s an 8th degree mixed martial arts black belt and a contemporary romance author. Her books feature brave women who struggle to overcome profound loss, and who learn that transcendent joy only comes from taking risks in friendship and love. Books in the Blooming series include Bread Pudding in Barcelona (2024), Something Will Sing to Your Heart (2025), A Thistle in the Cevennes (coming in 2026), and the yet-untitled book four (coming in 2026). Originally from California, Cindy lives with her husband in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
