edit data

A lifelong Midwestern girl, Cassandra was quite young when she discovered the haunting undertones behind everyday life. A haunting experience as a university senior in the summer of 2004 changed everything; she would struggle to make sense of that experience until she started work on Mary, Everything in 2013. Bathed in summer sunlight and crafted from early 2000s punk rock, this first novel is a time travel experience of its own.

Cassandra lives in central Ohio with her wife, house rabbits, and video games.

And of course, her own ghostly memories.

If you were any good
you’d be getting your clit sucked
by people who went to expensive private schools in Cleveland
and retail girls would worship you and hate themselves
with smiles like sunsets
and the bitchiest gay people in New York would live up your ass
and you’d have coffee and bagels once a week
with Ellen DeGeneres
