Well, hello to you.

I'm Cassandra; call me Cassie or Colt2013. Cassie's totally fine. I am a book lover, a college student, and history geek.

I have tried, and failed, multiple times to write a story set in modern times. They never come to fruition. Thus, I am working on several stories in historical settings.

My Favorite Novels inspire my stories:
1) The entirety of the "Anne of Green Gables" Series, by L. M. Montgomery
2) The Traitor's Wife, by Allison Pataki
3) Where the Red Fern Grows, by Wilson Rawls
4) Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas
5) Johnny Tremain, by Esther Forbes
6) To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee

My Favorite Songs inspire my tone:
1) Love Story, by Taylor Swift
2) Mean, by Taylor Swift
3) Monsters, by Sarah McLachlan
4) Platinum, by Miranda Lambert
5) It's My Life, by Bon Jovi
6) Ghost, by Ella Henderson
7) Little Toy Guns, by Carrie Underwood
8) Love Don't Die, by the Fray
