Author bio
Cassie Mae is a romance writer from Utah who built a loyal readership around people who do not always feel like the cool kids. Her stories are packed with nerds, geeks, shy people, loud people, awkward crushes, and big feelings hiding inside funny setups. She writes contemporary romance in a few different lanes, from sweet young adult stories to steamier adult rom-coms, but the heartbeat is usually the same. She likes the misfits.
Years ago, she described herself as a full-time writer and mother, and that mix of work and home still feels central to the way her career has grown. Before long, writing was only one of the hats she wore. She has also coached youth volleyball and basketball, built a writers' blog, and later founded CookieLynn Publishing Services, where she works as an editor as well as an author.
She first caught a lot of readers' attention with books like How to Date a Nerd and Reasons I Fell for the Funny Fat Friend. Those early novels laid out her interests in plain sight. Not the effortlessly polished people. The girl hiding comics under the blanket. The funny friend who assumes no one will pick her. The boy who looks like a joke from far away and then turns into the safest person in the room.
The nerd stuff matters.
That same tone carries through books like Switched, Friday Night Alibi, and How to Hook a Bookworm, where the plots often start with a plan, a prank, or a very bad idea. Her characters talk too much, overthink everything, and embarrass themselves on the way to love. Readers who click with her work usually come for the banter and stay for the tenderness underneath it.
As her career grew, so did her range. Some books were released through Penguin Random House, while others came out independently, sometimes under the name Becca Ann. She has also co-written books, which helps explain why her catalog jumps between solo projects, collaborations, sweet romance, and spicier contemporary stories without losing its basic personality.
Her adult romances show another side of the same voice. Flirty Thirty leans funny and flirty. Pillowtalk is softer and more healing. I Knew You Were Trouble brings her trademark awkward charm into a grown-up rom-com, and Master of the Meet Cute plays with the form of the romantic comedy itself. Even when the characters are older and the stakes are bigger, she keeps coming back to the same ground: insecurity, hope, second chances, friendship, and the relief of being loved as you are.
That mix is the whole appeal.
Off the page, Cassie Mae comes across less like a distant author brand and more like the funny friend in the group chat. Her bios mention Harry Potter weekends, TV binges, and a serious love of cheesecake. She has also joked that she only likes kissing her husband when his facial hair is trimmed, which tells you a lot about the easy, chatty tone she brings to her public persona.
These days, she still seems to wear a lot of hats. On her current site she describes herself as an author, editor, crocheter, wife, and mother, and she co-hosts a bookish podcast with fellow author Theresa Paolo. If you are new to her work, the easiest way to think about it is this: Cassie Mae writes love stories for people who feel a little offbeat, a little awkward, or a little out of step. In her books, those people still get the kiss, the joke, and the happy ending.
