Cassandra Duffy
Cassandra Duffy spent most of her childhood being precocious, which stopped being entertaining or impressive when she grew into an adult, at which point she had to start being precious. After being an outcast child prodigy it was no surprise when she graduated from one of the many fine University of California schools a year early to follow her girlfriend in a cross country move.
She writes a free-lance sex advice column found in various lesbian magazines and dating websites. Her short story collections and novels can be found on her website.
Two of her greatest prides are being a true California girl and author of some truly naughty things. She is a dutiful partially-Asian daughter who is beloved by her fairly traditional Korean father who thinks having a gay daughter is just fine as long as she keeps playing coed flag football. She is a stereotypical younger sister, and an adoring aunt of a hilarious little boy. Being a modern techno-freak, gamer-girl, she spent most of her childhood dreaming of being a video game designer, but changed her mind and brought her dreams of world building and story-weaving to writing unique romance novels.
Cassandra is a gleefully monogamous girlfriend to an earthbound goddess who was once her high school bully, but has done a magnificent job of making up for all the school girl nastiness ever since. When she isn't being an avid fang girl (vampire fan girl) or tormenting people in online gaming, she lives and writes in Winter Park, Florida with her partner and soul mate Nichole and their two cats: Dragon and Josephine.
“Like other women who sought equality, the amount of trouble I cause is inversely proportional to my physical size.”
“I'd rather be thought of as smart, capable, strong, and compassionate than beautiful. Those things all persist long after beauty fades.”
“I realized I was officially a professional writer when all my plans began with "drink coffee" and ended with "take a nap.”
“The beauty of standing up for your rights is others will see you standing and stand up as well.”
“Be the slaughterhouse for sacred cows.”
“It's hard not to be a fighter when you're constantly under siege.”
“Maybe you can explain to me what is so spectacular about her, because you gay girls can’t seem to keep your hands off that daffy redhead.”
“Passion has more applications than just about anything. If you don't have a fire in your belly about something, you should go start one.”
“Blast ignorant people with high-powered streams of information and wisdom, but only when fire hoses are not readily available.”
“I'll probably never fully become what I wanted to be when I grew up, but that's probably because I wanted to be a ninja princess.”
