Excerpt;
My
parents
think
the
longer
the
name,
the
more
powerful
the
sorcerer,
so
they
named
me
Cassandra
Morgan
Ursula
Margaret
Scot.
You
can
call
me
Cassie.
I've
been
called
a
lot
of
things
in
my
life:
normal,
ordinary,
and
even
a
disappointment.
After
the
Harry
Potter
books
came
out,
a
couple
of
people
called
me
a
squib.
Since
I
haven't
read
them,
I
have
to
assume
it's
a
compliment.
Personally,
I
prefer
normal,
which
is
why
the
sign
on
my
office
door
reads:
Cassie
Scot,
Normal
Detective.
You
have
to
understand
that
around
here,
when
your
last
name
is
Scot,
people
are
easily
confused.
Not
only
are
my
parents
powerful
practitioners,
but
I
have
six
talented
brothers
and
sisters.
Plus,
my
family
hasn't
always
been
known
for
its
subtlety.
When
weird
stuff
happens
around
here,
the
people
who
are
willing
to
believe
in
magic
are
prone
to
suspect
the
Scots.
The
day
I
opened
for
business
I
got
a
call
from
an
old
woman
who
swore
her
cat
was
possessed
by
the
devil.
She
also
swore
she'd
read
my
web
site,
which
clearly
stated
the
types
of
work
I
did
and
did
not
do.
Exorcisms
were
on
the
No
list,
and
while
I
hadn't
specified
pet
exorcisms,
I
would
have
thought
it
was
implicit.

About the Author
Christine Amsden has been writing science fiction and fantasy for as long as she can remember. She loves to write and it is her dream that others will be inspired by this love and by her stories. Speculative fiction is fun, magical, and imaginative but great speculative fiction is about real people defining themselves through extraordinary situations. Christine writes primarily about people and it is in this way that she strives to make science fiction and fantasy meaningful for everyone.
At the age of 16, Christine was diagnosed with Stargardt’s Disease, a condition that effects the retina and causes a loss of central vision. She is now legally blind, but has not let this slow her down or get in the way of her dreams. (You can learn more here.)
In addition to writing, Christine teaches workshops on writing at Savvy Authors. She also does some freelance editing work.
Christine currently lives in the Kansas City area with her husband, Austin, who has been her biggest fan and the key to her success. They have two beautiful children, Drake and Celeste.
