Please give a warm welcome to one of the new all-American young and awesome femme fatale fiction authors we have in our lineup hitting the shelves sooner rather than later -- Kiera Cass! We do have a lot of writers already but what makes her any different? Let us have the pleasure of telling you why!
She was born and raised in South Carolina, a proud child of the 80's. Her first book contrary to popular belief was not the bestselling The Selection but was titled The Siren and it was self-published in 2009 while she was five months pregnant.
The Siren was a result of Kiera's world getting shaken in 2007 by a local tragedy which she took pretty hard. Over the course of the following year, she tried a lot of things to get herself together and she ended up sitting down to write a story where the character had to deal with her problems so that she wouldn't have to.
However, that wasn't The Siren yet! She was not able to end that story though but after waking up from a nap at that time, Kiera finally came up with the idea that would become The Siren. Ideas for the dystopial novel, The Selection, and other stories came not so long afterwards once she got into the habit of writing even if The Siren did not have quite the successful following.
In early 2010, she found a cool gal at HarperTeen and an even cooler agent who helped publish The Selection in 2012 (while she was pregnant again!). Kiera is currently 33, living in Vancouver with her hubby and two kids, Guyden and Zuzu. She loves spending her free time on social media (making videos on YouTube and entertaining people on Twitter), eating cake, and being married.
