Starchild Saga – Cassandra Shield
Change language:
The idea of the Starchild Saga first popped up into Cassandra Shield ‘s head when she said goodbye to her luxury home in Germany to start a new, more simple life in Croatia with her beloved dogs. The first pages of the book were born on a rustic wooden table, written on a pad of paper.
Her adventure to move abroad didn’t start out smoothly, but at the end she managed to create her own happy end. In the first months, one disaster stroke after another, which let her tremble for days at a time. She struggled to find a house where the landlord allowed dogs. Her first rental home was a complete mess, the second a proper dump. With no other option in sight, she ended up renting a place that had neither a kitchen nor a bathroom or a toilet. Living without central heating meant she had to survive the harsh Croatian winter with minus 20°C outside. On top of that came the pandemic, which no one in their wildest dreams thought would happen. She was caught in two lockdowns all alone with only her furry family by her side.
After finding an ideal location for her next project, Cassie headed to Hungary. She felt in her guts that now was the time to make her dream finally come true and become a professional dog breeder. She didn’t give much thought to what it meant in real life though. She had to discover all the difficulties, sadness, happiness and weird situations that occur in this business on the way.
The gloomy reality weighted on her like a heavy blanket, so Cassie found an escape in the fantasy world. There are many dog stories out there, modern and new. Ones that have never been told before. Action-packed, a la James Bond, yet profound and meaningful.
Cassie’s books are about human decency and today’s values, which are often subject to debate. Some stories may even seem familiar to the readers as they may have experienced similar events.
