Cassandra James (she/her/hers)


Cassandra James grew up in a mixed immigrant family that fostered her love of storytelling. A Princeton graduate in creative writing, she now lives in Orlando, where she cooks Colombian dishes, adores Broadway musicals, and occasionally swashbuckles. Her debut young adult fantasy “Capitana,” is available in bookstores while its sequel, “Libertad,” will be released in June.
