About the Author

Cassie Ryan started her published writing career writing steamy paranormal romance under another pen name. However, when one of her critique partners--Brit Blaise--suggested she try her hand at erotic romance, she gave it a shot! After all, she's not a girl to turn down a challenge of any type. So, she pulled out all the stops and wrote the first several chapters of what would become Ceremony Of Seduction.

After hearing Audrey LaFehr from Kensington speak on a new erotic romance line she'd started called Aphrodisia, at RWA Nationals, Cassie sent in her partial and went back to writing. So, when Audrey fished her partial out of the slush pile and offered her a three book deal, Cassie Ryan was officially born.

Cassie lives in Phoenix, Arizona and besides being a write-a-holic, is a frequent speaker on several writing and motivational topics.
