Kaylie Caswell
Biography
I'm Kaylie Caswell, a YA author from St. Paul, MN, where I live with my husband in a home entirely overrun and dedicated to our hobbies and ambitions. We are both from the same small town of Maple Lake, MN, and we like to go back there and visit our families on weekends and holidays as much as possible.
When I'm not writing, I enjoy making resin jewelry, listening to stand-up comedy on long road trips, watching horror movies, running, and, of course, listening to my husband, the fantastic and inspiring musician Charles Caswell play guitar and helping him create and film his music videos. We also run a small business together called Muffle Cuff, where we produce a product we invented and produce ourselves. Our product, the original Muffle Cuff, is a stylish guitar accessory meant to assist guitarists in sound control by muffling excess string noise at the guitar's headstock, so a musician doesn't have to sacrifice the instrument's appearance for sound clarity.
I have an MFA in Creative Writing from Hamline University, and I write both sci-fi and contemporary YA, and my contemporary work is primarily inspired by my time at metal shows throughout the years.
