Cass Biehn (they/them) writes messy queer characters in messier situations—and always with angsty kissing.
They hold a Master of Library Science from Aberystwyth University in Wales and currently live in the Utah desert, where they split their time between cosplaying and wrangling their dogs.
Cass' debut novel, VESUVIUS, is out now from Peachtree Teen in the US and Atom Books/Little, Brown in the UK. The sequel, ICARUS FELL, is slated for release in 2027, with a standalone third novel THOUGH THIS BE MADNESS to follow in 2028.

They Both Die at the End meets The Song of Achilles in VESUVIUS, a queer YA Historical Fantasy.
Set in Pompeii days before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, two boys—Felix and Loren—must grapple with their closely-guarded secrets and untangle their fates to make it out of the burning city alive.
This is a meet-cute with an explosive fallout.
