My name is Avery Casselman and I’m an author pursuing many dreams. I grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida, however I now call the beautiful lands of Canada home. The mother of three amazing children, I found myself constantly torn between a career and family life until writing found me and brought harmony. I was a bit side-blinded by writing to be honest, only because I’d never contemplated, nor, done it before. I must also confess that I have never been a book reader.

“So what would possess me to write a novel?”

Well, it all started due to a crossroads in my life, and I needed to do something drastic! I never went to high-school, and though I knew I was intelligent, on paper, I wasn’t worth much. So I picked the most uncomfortable situation for me as a challenge. That’s when The Born, was literally born. I was naïve when beginning this process and just assumed that because I couldn’t get into reading, that writing a novel would be just as difficult for me. Yet, what happened next was astounding. Like a seed just waiting to be water, my mind exploded. The words flowed effortlessly, and after completing the first chapter, not only was I dumbfounded, I was hooked. You know that saying “Don’t knock it till you try it”? Well, I kind of live by that now. I only hope that everyone has a chance to step outside of the box, and see what their truly capable of.

Since starting this book, I realized a lot about myself, and that nothing can hold someone back more… then themselves. I bucked up and took the G.E.D test (high-school equivalent), –which scared the hell out of me by the way– and passed the first try. From there, I took an online college course and received a diploma. My point, is to prove that you won’t ever know what you can do, till you try. Before this, I wouldn’t of even had the slightest clue how to make a website, let alone a book trailer, and grasp the promotion aspect. However, I’m making it a reality, and so can you.

I just finished my first novel -The Born- and I’m planning on starting the second novel in this series -The Lost Soul’s- soon. I don’t claim to be anything other than me, I am crazy and flawed, but love big and know that ANYTHING in this life is possible if you work hard enough at it.  The Born book trailer
