Kassandra Nordby was raised in a small Minnesotan town where she still lives with her loving husband and two young children. She enjoys playing fantasy games as well as spending time outdoors such as hunting and fishing with her family. She also has a love for music and will occasionally play her trumpet with the highschool pep band at different sporting events. Her love for writing started in highschool when she wrote the first drafts of Helianthus Eternal for a friend on her cheerleading team. She currently coaches her local highschool cheer squad, encouraging young girls to be body positive, support their alma mater, and have fun.
