Hi, I’m Cindi Brown
I write stories that hold memory, meaning, and presence—whether it’s a mover/shaker in Macon, a journey to Kenya, or a quiet moment on a Southern porch.
Porchlight Press is my creative studio, publishing imprint, and soulful gathering place.

Stillwater shared stages with major Southern rock acts, got a record deal, toured hard, and survived the collapse of the Capricorn era. Mike Causey, Rob Walker, Sebie Lacey, Al Scarborough, David Heck, Bobby Golden, Jimmy Hall, and Bob spearman mostly grew up in Warner Robins, Georgia, just south of Macon, in a region that’s produced some of the finest musicians in the South. Decades later, Stillwater still means something significant around here.
