much of Cie’s work has roots in P.E. King’s The House That Had Enough, Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God and Flannery O’ Connor’s A Good Man Is Hard To Find.

some projects, much like the superior licorice that was Brach’s cherry twisters, are no longer available. others are being recrafted for republication.

the 2012-2013 service year in Greater Philadelphia led to Cie’s work in healthcare and eventual pursuit of an MFA in creative writing.

Cie has worked in the American South and Midwest in clinical research, primarily with a concentration in neurocognitive development and rehabilitation.
