And for my friends who helped me with my first big conceptual shoot around my book (and featured on the cover): Samantha Casper, Nico Nordstrom, Emily Wedgeworth-Rollins, Bethany Bernal, and all the assistants we had that day. Ya’ll ladies mean the world to me.
And to my husband, Cody Richardson, for dealing with stressed out Sydney. I know it’s not easy. Thanks for the wine and for just listening when I talked about the story. Thanks to my best friends Lisa Maraden, Blake Skiles, and Brenda Fuller. Your belief in me is more than I could ever ask for.
This story is more than words to me, it’s my art and a way to express myself in every form I can. To all those out there – keep dreaming, keep writing, surround yourself with people you can grow from – and LISTEN to them. And again, please – please, never stop dreaming. We need your stories.
About the Author
Even before Sydney could hold a pencil in her hand, she was making up stories in her head. Sydney wrote her first book in the second grade, Girls [sorry Lena Dunham], about her and her best friends in college [because college was super cool when you were 8] who went on treasure hunts and fought bad guys with their super powers. Her second grade teacher was so impressed, she laminated a cover and bound it. That will forever be the moment Sydney dreamed of holding a copy of her own book and placing it on a shelf.

Now all grown up, Sydney still stays in the fantasy world, fashioning worlds where the power of a star can be harnessed and used for time travel, flying is just as easy as walking here on earth – and her best friends are fairies. Sydney represented by Rebecca Angus at Golden Wheat Literary. The Halves of Us, Book 1 is her first novel. Sydney resides in Austin, Texas with her nerdy husband, Cody, and three fat cats, Vincent Van Gogh, Mufasa, and Bella.
