The Works of Cassandra Humbert
A Bit About Me
In tenth grade, I wrote a short story about a kid and his guardian angel. It wasn't that good, looking back on it, but the feedback my teacher gave me an overwhelming boost of confidence. I spent years developing that little story into a whole series, and along the way, I've fallen in love with creating characters and the worlds they inhabit. All I want is to share that love with others, and I hope that someone else will be inspired the same way my teacher inspired me. I never expected writing to be my passion, and now I can't imagine my life without it.

The Freaks of Preston
Coming Soon
Freaks are a different species of human with incredible powers, and the rest of the world wants them dead for it. Young Will Shapiro is no exception, as his father’s cruel attack brings the unwanted attention of the entire town. Luckily, a kind, widowed Freak named Jason teaches him how to love himself and ends up becoming his godfather. Unfortunately, a calculated hit-and-run causes Jason to give his life for Will, who must grow up without the one person who truly understood him. As Will adjusts to being a “human being,” his family is kidnapped by a secret organization hidden deep in the woods. With only a handful of friends, Will must break out his family, and discover that his godfather’s death was part of a grander plan.
