Cass GraftonA proud bookworm since childhood, Cass Grafton writes the sort of stories she loves to read--heartwarming, character-driven, and strong on location. Having moved around extensively and lived in three countries, she finds places inspiring, and he setting of her novels often becomes as much a part of the story as her characters. She has an overactive imagination and is prone to crying with happiness as much as she is at sadness, but when it comes to her writing, she leans heavily toward the upbeat and insists on a happy ever after. As one of her favorite authors, Jane Austen, once wrote, "Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery."

Cass loves travelling, words, cats, and wine, and enjoys them in any combination. She currently splits her time between Switzerland, where she lives with her patient husband, and England, where she lives with her characters. Read More Read Less
