Kasandra Elaine

Author Bio:

I am Kassy Paris, the co-author of four published books. I began writing, in my head, as a child. My formal entry into the world of writing came when my best friend and writing partner, Elaine, came to me with a project in mind. That was in 1997. Since then we've been published together five times and she has three solo publications. I'm a retired elementary teacher, currently working as an editor specializing in developmental editing for beginning writers.


Elaine is Elaine Bonner. We met as sophomores in high school and have been close friends forever.

We write together as Kasandra Elaine. She wrote under her maiden name, Elaine Bonner, until God took her home May 19, 2015. Currently, I am working on revising several projects we started together. The last rough draft we finished, Murder in Maggie Valley, was published on March 21, 2017.
