Longer Introduction

My name is Casey, and I write fantasy novels about powerful women having magical adventures full of witty banter. Whether it features wielding magic swords in space, flying headlong into sorcerous storms, or dancing with dragons, all my fiction is fundamentally hopeful character-driven stories aimed at being both fun and challenging; validating and uplifting.

If you’re interested in supporting my work, please check out my Patreon, which powers my ongoing serial Tea Princess Chronicles, or buy me tea with Ko-fi! You can also sign up for my email newsletter to be notified about important news in my writing career like new releases.

I never stop moving, and I mean that both in the figurative sense of pushing myself and also somewhat more literally. I fled the excessive sunlight in California years ago for Vassar in New York, and since college I’ve lived for a couple of years in the rice fields in Japan and relocated to the Pacific Northwest. But you can expect to find me:

  • Writing or reading a book! So👏Many👏Books👏. Check out Projects for more about what I’m currently writing. You can find out more about my available publications and my taste in fantasy novels on my author website.
  • Dancing and, newly, practicing capoeira!
  • Wandering and adventuring! Two favorite trips: canyoning in Costa Rica and taking a train to Tibet.
  • Trapped under a cat. Any cat, really, but my two resident floof overlords have this bullet point exceedingly well covered.
  • Excitedly learning about… basically everything. (Old English etymologies! Heroic archetypes in anime! Medieval inks! Trees! I am Very Here for obscure and enthusiastic geekery.)

Outside of writing stories, I have worked at an entertaining array of jobs! You can find out more about my SFF conference and programming work on the Events page of my author website. If you’re looking for my current day job persona as a virtual assistant and author assistant, the website you want is here.
