Cass Alexander

Biography

Cass Alexander is the pen name of a Southern born and bred public school teacher. Her brother, who insists she address him as, The Prince of Darkness, gave her the nom de plume after warning her that her book’s content may scar her sons for life.

She’s a connoisseur of fine humor, hilarious insults, and all things chocolate, preferably dark (like her humor). Oh, and wine. Let’s not forget the wine. Cass also enjoys running. It’s become crucial to her survival, due to her consumption of wine and chocolate.

Cass’s mission in life is to spread the love and the laughter, goodness knows it’s needed. It’s why she wrote The Persimmon Series.

She and her family now reside in the Midwest, where hardly anyone other than Cass says the words, y’all and holler.

That is all. For now.

Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
The first story I ever remember writing was in elementary school. Our class was forced to enter some young author competition. I won. We did it again the following year and I placed 2nd (I think). No one was more shocked than I was. My mother never censored books we chose from the local public library. I started reading Stephen King and Dean R. Koontz at age 9. This is important to point out because the two stories I wrote were quite disturbing. I don't remember which one was the winner, but one was about a girl that got sucked up into her ceiling and transported to a terrible land where she had to fight monsters to stay alive. The other was about an elderly couple that fostered troubled children. And ate them. By middle school, I was sneaking my grandmother's dirty westerns. It took me years to figure out what half of the euphemisms meant.
How do you approach cover design?
I googled 'worst romance covers' and spent 30 minutes laughing my tail off. Then I looked at covers for books that I had really enjoyed reading, then covers for books that hold sold well. I prefer simplicity. I didn't like the covers that had a lot going on and were 'busy.' It made it hard to find the title and author. I spent some time finding a simple picture of a couple that looked sort of like the couple in the book. I had to pay for rights (way cheaper than I thought possible) and then I pieced it together on canva.com. It was awesome.
