Adri Cassard fell in love with stories as a child and started writing her own in middle school under the fanfiction penname of Flowerlady-Aerith. The Pirate King's Heart is her debut novel, a love story written to celebrate all kinds of love, no matter its hardships or circumstances. When she’s not working her day job or writing, she checks out books from the local library or sinks hours into JRPG’s. She lives in Texas with her encouraging, not-at-all sarcastic roommate and their two dogs.
