Amazon UK Bestselling author Cas Peace was born and brought up in the lovely county of Hampshire in the UK. On leaving school, she trained for two years before qualifying as a teacher of equitation.

They have recently retired and relocated to South Devon, UK.
As well as her love of horses, Cas is mad about dogs; especially lurchers. She has had four rescue lurchers: Emma and Ria, Milly and Milo, plus Dalmatian Daisy and blue roan Cocker Spaniel Pepper.

Her second Artesans novel, King’s Champion, also appeared on Amazon UK’s Bestseller list.
