Cait Gordon is originally from Verdun, Québec, and has been living in the suburbs of Ottawa since 1998. A chronic baker who also likes to arrange words, Cait is the author of the ’Cosm series, which began with Life in the ’Cosm, a story about a little green guy who’s on an adventure to save half the person he loves. Her second book, The Stealth Lovers, is a prequel and the origin tale of legendary warriors Xaxall (Xax) Knightly and Vivoxx (Viv) Tirowen. Cait’s short stories have been published in anthologies. A Night at the Rabbit Hole appears in the Alice Unbound Beyond Wonderland anthology (Colleen Anderson, Exile Editions). The Hilltop Gathering is included in the We Shall Be Monsters anthology (Derek Newman-Stille, Renaissance). When she’s not writing, Cait is editing manuscripts and running the Spoonie Authors Network, a blog whose contributors manage disabilities and/or chronic conditions. She also loves to cosplay and eat cake. Preferably at the same time.
