Kiera Marie[1] Cass is the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of The Selection Series.

Biography[]

Kiera Cass was born on May 19, 1981.

She began writing after a local tragedy in 2007, writing the self-published book The Siren in 2009 while she was pregnant with her first son.

Three years later, she got HarperTeen to take on The Selection, which came out on April 19, 2012. The second book in the series, The Elite, was released on April 23, 2013. The third and originally last book to the series, The One, was released on May 6, 2014. A new book, The Heir, about the Selection of Eadlyn Schreave (Prince Maxon's and America's daughter), was released on May 5, 2015. The final book, The Crown, was released on May 3, 2016.

Along with her books, she wrote two companion novels to The Selection: The Prince and The Guard, plus The Selection Stories, a combination of the two digital novellas. She wrote two more novellas: The Queen, released on December 2, 2014, about Queen Amberly's Selection and The Favorite, in Marlee Tames's point of view. All already published novellas and new ones were released in an illustrated hardcover, Happily Ever After on October 13, 2015.

The Siren was re-released by HarperTeen on January 26, 2016, with a new cover and content.

Her first post-Selection YA novel is The Betrothed, "an epic royal romance" with a new world and characters. It focuses on Hollis Brite, a daughter of nobility who has captured the heart of the king, yet she fells in love with a commoner. The book was published on May 5, 2020 and it is the first in a new duology.

She is married to Callaway Cass. They have two children, a son named Guyden and a daughter named Zuzu.
