About me:
I have always loved Stories. I started writing before I could really write words. I was one to be found reading a book when 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 that I wanted to be an Author.
I still love reading books and have to admit to being 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!
I love creating stories. Often I create them for myself, but sometimes I share (well the really good ones anyway). My favorite books are young adult, clean romance, fantasy, mystery, adventure, fairy tale, and usually I like a taste of romance along with any story. I also love picture books. I have been creating stories since I was little, while doing chores or other tasks that let my mind wander and have to admit I have quite a list to write, so stay tuned for lots and lots of books to come. I am super excited to share with you all of the stories that have been filling my head since I was a little girl.
WHY the two names? Well I can't seem to write just one genre or for just one age group. I have way to many stories to tell. So I decided to differentiate between the two age groups so hopefully there will be less confusion about the kind of story my readers are looking for. So Cassie M. Shiels writes children's literature and C. M. Shiels writes for adults.
I was born in Idaho which is where I currently reside, with my husband and sweet little family. I am a wife, mother, writer, and also a certified childbirth educator. Childbirth is the only subject (other then reading and creating stories) that has captured me. I also love to color and paint which is why you will find a color page at the end of my children books.
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 .
