Cassie

As the Game Mistress (Monstress), it’s Cassie's job to plunge our heroines into darkness and give them the clues and tools they need to get back out. She writes the story, interprets the rules, and does her best to entertain while keeping the game on-track. Cassie is a technical writer by day and suspects she should have been more specific when she said she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Once upon a time, her horror flash fiction was published in a now-defunct literary journal. She also holds a prestigious place in the Winner's Circle with Ink & Blood, an improv writing dueling group. Or at least she would, if such a secret society existed, which it most certainly does not and absolutely cannot be found at https://wordduels.com/.
