About Cynthia Díaz

Cynthia Díaz is a Chilean writer currently living in Canada—proof, she likes to say, that life has a curious way of taking you exactly where you need to be.

She first wrote Dragon Memories in her early twenties, a story born from her fascination with dragons, identity, and the fragile bond between memory and destiny. Though the original manuscript was lost to time, the story refused to fade.

"I wrote this trilogy twice. Once at 22, then again 15 years later after the first draft was lost. The story refused to die."

When she isn't writing, Cynthia finds joy in quiet rituals: slicing watermelons, sharing space with her cats, brewing tea, and dreaming of dragons that feel as real as the world around them.

Niha's Curse — Q&A

Set is introduced as a young dragon, even when he is 739 years old. Was it hard for you to write a character like that?

At times. I mean, he is treated like a child despite his advanced chronological age, so the contradiction is interesting to navigate.

Tea seems to be the one thing that can ground a dragon, regardless of their element. Why did you add that quirk to the story?

Click to reveal answer

I really wanted to build a fantasy world that felt real with cultural differences among the different ethnicities. I based the tea in British culture, but it's actually because I am Chilean, and tea is a must for us.

What do you hope readers will take away from your book?

It's an open bar! But I guess every author would like their reader to take a good memory with them.

Drift — Q&A

Your world is gripped by high-stakes conflict, yet you pause for culinary details—even a recipe for Mrs. Su's Spring Stew. Why ground this dark fantasy in such domestic, sensory moments?

Click to reveal answer

Masterpieces are built on detail. Life is rarely a single flavor; these mundane moments provide a necessary contrast to the suffocating themes. By grounding the world in the sensory, the characters—and the readers—can truly taste the value of small things amidst the chaos.

Is Mrs. Su's Spring Stew a real recipe, and why did you choose this dish for the story?

Click to reveal answer

It is a real recipe — it's Charquicán, a traditional Chilean dish and a personal childhood favorite. I chose the name "Spring Stew" to make it evocative and accessible for English readers while capturing the nostalgic warmth I feel whenever I prepare it.

Which sections of the book were your favorite to write, and which were the most challenging?

Click to reveal answer

The journey across the Tempestic Ocean was the most difficult — writing characters isolated in their own heads, refusing to "just say the thing." My favorite was subverting a classic trope when Niha opens a specific door. Seeing her take charge of that moment was incredibly satisfying.
