About the author

Cassidy Jones has been writing stories since she was thirteen years old— when her “unique style” involved typing in Helvetica, bold, and bright purple. Thankfully, her storytelling has come a long way since then.

A lifelong lover of character-driven fiction, Cassidy writes fiction that leans into emotion, atmosphere, and the kind of small details that make ordinary lives extraordinary. Her debut novel, Rise, is both a love letter and a homecoming: to family, to community, and to the coastal settings that linger long after the tide goes out.

When she isn’t writing, Cassidy can usually be found with a book in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other, playing character-driven video games, or losing herself in a new TV series. She currently lives in Atlantic Canada with her partner and two young sons.
