Cindy Hval is a columnist and correspondent for The Spokesman Review newspaper in Spokane, Washington. Her “Front Porch” column offers humorous, often poignant commentary about life, love and raising sons– not necessarily in that order.

Her first book, "War Bonds: Love Stories From the Greatest Generation" was published by Casemate in 2015.

You can also read her work in numerous anthologies including 13 volumes of the Chicken Soup For the Soul series.

Cindy is the mother of four sons and proud Nana to twin grandsons. She and her husband, Derek, recently celebrated their 40th anniversary.

Her idea of heaven is a room full of books and all the time in the world to read them.

Peevish responses

I asked, and you answered. In my previous peevish column, I invited readers to share their peeves, and share you did. Customer-service annoyances ranked high in your responses.
