Los Angeles born Casey Renee Le’Vasseur began her love affair with words studying and memorizing lyrics from her favorite bands. Growing up watching her father, songwriter Jeffrey Steele, perform in night clubs and bars she was naturally drawn to music, but it was the lyrics that spoke to her. It was words, again, that initially drew her to film. She would spend free time watching old movies, studying and analyzing her favorite lines. Le’Vasseur eventually put pen to paper, filling stacks of composition notebooks with teenage angst and creating quirky and slightly deranged short stories for her friends and family. Her passion for writing and film lead her to a degree in Cinema Arts from California State University, at Northridge. She is currently biting off more than she can chew; managing a band, running a music publishing company, and coordinating charitable ventures in Nashville, TN. Silence & Noise is her first novel.
