About the Author
After growing up in a small town in Louisiana and being one of ten children, Cassie Smilez has learned to embrace the many life lessons thrown at her during her tenure in the United States Army. Her life is extremely busy as a wife, mother of two children, and caregiver to her own mother. She loves every day of it too!

Currently Cassie Smilez is serving on Active Duty in the military nearing seventeen-years. She was first inspired to write during the lock down months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Between a husband, busy two-year-old, and an energetic seven-year-old it left little time for herself. She felt that writing was the best outlet to express her own self, take a vacation outside of her busy reality, and occupy her time inside a very vivid imagination. She was drawn to utilizing supernatural beings to address the seriousness of what we face in society today in a manner that everyone could understand. Making the assumption that metaphorically speaking on influential controversy we face as a society, she noted that it would capture the attention of our leaders of tomorrow. Cassie has written many books that all have the intention of making you laugh, cry, and relate in sentimental ways you never thought possible!
