Sylvia’s book tours and travel engagements have taken her around the globe. Born in Los Angeles, she grew up in Orange County (the O.C.), and later lived in Monterey, Oceanside, and Murrieta. Sylvia now resides in Las Vegas but spends summers in Seattle and schedules woefully brief trips to her pied-à-terre in Manhattan whenever she can. Her work and life are the inspirations for Beyond Words, the digital lifestyle magazine and store.
