Sallie Bissell

Though I'm a flat-land Southerner (Nashville, Tennessee), I've been fascinated by the Appalachian Mountains since vacationing there in my childhood. Twenty years ago, I packed my Tennessee bags and moved to North Carolina. I soaked up the mountain culture, the Cherokee Indians, and the haunting beauty of the mountains. Ultimately, all these things wound up in a book called "In The Forest Of Harm" which introduced my protagonist, half-Cherokee Mary Crow. Eight books later, I finished the Mary Crow stories, but I wasn't finished writing. "The Cassandra Curse" is my first stand-alone novel. It takes place in Brooklyn, NY and Charleston, SC, where my heroine Gus Delaney suffers a brain injury that turns her into one of the most valuable and hunted people on the planet. It's a little Sci-Fi, a little AI and a bit of Greek mythology. I think it's a terrific read, and I hope you will, too. By the way, when I'm not writing, I enjoy tennis, hiking with my Boxer Izzy, and a good cup of coffee. I'm delighted to hear from my readers, so drop me a line on my website, salliebissell.com or get in touch on FaceBook.
