Cassie Ryan, also known as Tina Gerow, is a successful author with a passion for romance and the paranormal. From a young age, she was encouraged to pursue writing, but was always advised to stop writing "weird stuff" and to tone down her sarcasm. However, Ryan stayed true to her unique voice and style, deciding to write her first novel in 2003. This decision ultimately paid off, as her first book, "Into a Dangerous Mind," written as Tina Gerow, won the award for Romantic Times Best Small Press Contemporary Paranormal for 2006.
In addition to her success as Tina Gerow, Ryan has also found great success as Cassie Ryan. After an editor approached her and suggested she heat things up, she created the pen name Cassie Ryan and began writing erotic romance. Her first book as Cassie Ryan, "Ceremony of Seduction," was published in Kensington's Aphrodisia line, following a three-book deal. Ryan's work as Cassie Ryan includes the popular Maiden series, the Seduction Series, the Sisters of Darkness series, and the Club Desire series.
Ryan is a prolific writer, and in addition to her many published works, she is also a frequent speaker on writing and motivational topics. She currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona with her two favorite men, Jon and Darian, as well as a Maine Coon, a tabby kitten, and a black Bombay. Despite her many accomplishments, Ryan has never lost her passion for the "weird stuff" and sarcasm that has always been a part of her writing.
