Cassandra Austen is the pen name of author Maya Rushing Walker. I write thoughtful, slow-burn novels where the characters are people you might know or meet, constrained by situations that are real-life. I love strong, independent women, men who choose the right thing rather than the easy thing, and I have a love for the landscapes of Old and New England. I write in the parlor of an old farmhouse with pink and mustard paint (really!) dating back to an ancestor with NO sense of color, with a view of apple trees, free-range chickens, and an old dog snoozing on my ragged couch. I love notebooks and fountain pens, lilacs, and old pianos!
