About the author

Edwards began writing romances in 1982 and released her 100th novel, Savage Skies, on August 28, 2007.

Her first 99 books sold a combined 10 million copies as of August 2007, with her more recent novels averaging sales of 250,000–350,000 copies.

Edwards has won the Romantic Times Lifetime Achievement Award and the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, as well as being named one of Affaire de Coeur's top ten favorite romance writers. Edwards has a reputation for meticulously researching the proper anthropological backgrounds of each tribe she writes about.

Edwards and her husband Charles, a retired high school biology teacher, have been married for over 50 years. They have two sons, Charles and Brian, and three grandchildren. The family lived in St. Louis, Missouri for over thirty years, but now reside in Mattoon, Illinois.

Reviews

[Lady Tea]

I think the descriptions I'm looking for are 'average' and a little 'boring'. Just typical, nothing I haven't read before.

Also, can we please stop having the heroes refer to themselves in the third person? (i.e Me Tarzan, Tarzan lord of apes! Tarzan think Jane is very pretty, doy!).

It is great

[Mary Quast]

This was a book of my mom's. I like Cassie Edwards. This book is from 1996 and is a good example of the writing style at the time. I read this book in two sittings. Love the setting. The heroine was a bit over the top for me. She was strong at times, wimpy at others and certainly fell in love way too fast. But that's what you get with some purple prose.
