About

Cassandra Ulrich was born on the beautiful island of St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands, located east of Puerto Rico.  Living in the tropics allowed her imagination and day dreams to flourish.  For years, she wrote poetry and entered competitions.  However, only many years later did she discover joy in writing stories longer than a few pages.

She published her first young adult novel, “A Beautiful Girl”, in April 2011.  The inspirational novel has already touched many hearts ranging from teens to adults.
