About me:
I have always loved Stories. I started writing before I could write words. I was one to be found reading a book when my homework was supposed to be getting done, late into the night or on the school bus. In middle school I decided that I liked creating my own stories as much as I liked reading them and so decided to become an Author.
I still love reading books and have to admit I am the kind of reader who looks at the clock at 2:00am and says WHOOPS. Or who looks at the clock at 11:30 pm and decides to keep reading because I am at the climax and can’t stop there! Lack of sleep is worth it. My favorite books are young adult, clean romance, fantasy, mystery, adventure, fairy tale, suspense and usually I like a taste of romance along with any story. I also love wickedly awesome picture books.
I have always loved creating stories. I love writing because I get to be both a fairy godmother and a super villain at the same time, for every story I create. Which rocks my world. What other job combines both of those things?! I have created stories since I was little, while doing chores or other tasks that let my mind wander and I have to admit I have a long list to write, and it continually grows even now. So, stay tuned for lots and lots of stories!!
WHY the two names? I can't seem to write in one genre or for one age group. I have way too many stories to tell. So I decided I would differentiate between the two age groups so hopefully there will be less confusion about the kind of story my readers want. So Cassie M. Shiels writes children's literature and C. M. Shiels writes for adults. Its more fun this way anyway, right?!
I was born in Idaho which is where I currently reside, with my husband and sweet little family. I have five kids 4 girls and one boy. They are my world and I love them more than anything. I am a fan of colorful pens, glitter, paint and I am a Ravenclaw.
I am a member of The American Night Writers Association and have graduated from The Institute of Children's Literature. I also graduated from BYU-Idaho.
I would have a pet dragon if I could but my house is flammable .
