Casz's Fiction Farm

Greetings! Welcome to my little plot on the internet. My name is Casondra Brewster, called “Casz” by those who know me best or can’t seem to keep a long “a” out of my name.

I have been writing for other people all my life from journalism to corporate communications.  I often am told what an unusual life I have lived thus far in more than four decades. I think pretty much all of it has been on accident. Except my writing. For the next four decades (and hopefully beyond), it’s all on purpose and all about my writing. Over the years that this blog has existed, you’ve seen it grow and expand and shrink and explore and grow again. But writing is always at its core.

My personal philosophy:  Life is not about finding yourself; it’s about creating yourself. Once I realized that all bets were off and I was running towards making my dream of being a full-time writer a reality. Check out the  Blog to see how I’m working on making that a reality. Join my journey. Cheer me on. Tell me when you think I’m headed out into left field (I may or may not listen, but I’ll always take note of it).

I hail from the Motor City, but my current home of record is in the Cascade Foothills — just a short car-ride from Seattle, where I raised my family  on a little plot of land we turned into a small urban farm (see the Harvest Creations page) and now as we transition from microfarmers to constant travelers, splitting our time between sailing and rving. Regardless, life is still about creating every day.

If you follow me on Facebook (currently I am friends only, so please don’t be shy and send a request), you’ll see I have an alter ego called “Inkster.” She is my superhero persona. Inkster bends time and space with the power of the pen. You will occasionally see dispatches from Inkster, here, too. Normally such posts deal with the splashes of writing and publishing success I’m experiencing.

Recently, I’ve been learning about tech journalism and have a new passion for #infosec and #digitalsecurity.  You can find that exploration on my In The Weeds page. On the fiction side,  I write mostly speculative fiction. It ranges from YA to very weird and dark.  Occasionally I dip into literary fiction, military fantasy (I am a vet), and poetry, too. I try not to limit myself.

If you have a question, feel free to comment and ask. I’ll do my best to answer it. Comments are moderated. There unfortunately is always haters out there.  If you’re a lover, however, spread the positive energy. I truly believe in the threefold law.
