Cass Barnes is a lesbian author that lives in n. Maine near the Canadian border with her dog. She spends the long winters writing lesbian romance, poetry and playing jazz keyboard. She lives in the country and loves it. The settings of her novels are authentic, having lived all over the USA and traveled in s. Canada and n. Mexico. She is a graduate of Boston University and attended Harvard for graduate school. As soon as she could learn how to write, she kept a notebook full of her thoughts and feelings. For work, she was a career substitute in three school systems, Boston, Cambridge and Hawthorne (California). As a long-time reading tutor, she learned patience and sensitivity. She hopes you see this in her writing. Welcome, lesbian readers, to her world!
