Hi, I’m C.J. Anderson, though most people just call me Casey (or Mrs. Anderson). I’m a writer, educator, and creative entrepreneur who believes in the transformative power of stories—both in fiction and in life.
My path has taken me from the classroom to the publishing world and back again, and through it all, one truth has never changed: stories shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. Whether I’m guiding students through language and literature or crafting my own novels, my mission is the same—to inspire curiosity, empathy, and growth.
As an author, I write young-adult science fiction and fantasy that explore courage, identity, and the threads that connect us across worlds. My debut novel, Awakened, received the Best in Sci-Fi Award at the Ozarks Indie Bookfest and launched the Gods & Guardians series—an ongoing exploration of resilience, wonder, and what it means to be human.
Beyond fiction, I’m also passionate about helping others learn and grow through creativity, education, and self-discovery.
Here, you’ll find updates on my books, upcoming projects, and reflections on storytelling as both art and education.
Thank you for visiting—and for believing, as I do, that stories can change lives.
