A writer, artist, musician, mathematician, computer scientist and more, she enjoys breaking the barriers between art, science, and business. Because of her unusual background, she has written articles, given speeches, and tweeted on women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and on how she is no typical \u201cnerd\u201d. Based in Hong Kong, Cassandra has written for global publications and websites before joining the Just-Us League in January 2017.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Q-\u00a0What genre are you most comfortable writing?<\/p>\n<p>A-\u00a0Thriller and nonfiction. I like to make people turn pages and it&#8217;s important to pass on wisdom down the generations.<\/p>\n<p>Q-\u00a0Was writing horror hard?<\/p>\n<p>A-\u00a0Not at all. It&#8217;s really putting the scare in the thriller.<\/p>\n<p>Q-\u00a0What inspired your idea?<\/p>\n<p>A-\u00a0Cybersecurity is a hot topic and so is finding love. I want to expose the horrors of getting too romantically involved with someone.<\/p>\n<p>Q- What was the hardest part of writing this story?<\/p>\n<p>A-\u00a0I had to try to distinguish fantasy from reality sometimes because I&#8217;m very caught up with my imaginary world.<\/p>\n<p>Q-\u00a0What scares you?<\/p>\n<p>A-\u00a0Maybe you, the reader on the other side of the screen. I wonder what you&#8217;re thinking about me.<\/p>\n<p>Q-\u00a0Why do people like to be scared?<\/p>\n<p>A-\u00a0They want to shake things up a bit. Life and taxes are too ordinary and boring.<\/p>\n<p>Q- Favorite horror book or movie?<\/p>\n<p>A-\u00a0Coraline by Neil Gaiman.<\/p>\n<p>Q-\u00a0What is one stereotype about horror writers is absolutely wrong? What\u00a0stereotype is right?<\/p>\n<p>A-\u00a0The wrong one is that horror authors are just as scary as their stories. I know a few, and they are nice people just like us. Meanwhile, it&#8217;s unfortunate that writers write grislier and darker scenes, and some young readers try to enact those scenes, leading to tragic consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Q-\u00a0What horror archetypes do you like? Which do you hate?<\/p>\n<p>A-\u00a0\u00a0I like the sympathetic villain. I don&#8217;t like the all-evil one. Hurt people hurt, and that&#8217;s perhaps the most important element I want to bring out through my tale, <em>Don&#8217;t Offend A Girl In Love<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Q-\u00a0How would you survive a horror story?<\/p>\n<p>A-\u00a0Not travelling alone and listening to my gut. If something feels off, you bet it is. Plan for the worst and make no gambles.<\/p>\n<p>Check out\u00a0<em>Don&#8217;t Offend a Girl in Love<\/em>\u00a0by Cassandra Lee Yieng in\u00a0<em>Whispers in the Shadows<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0764N8T9L\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"413\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/jlwriters.com\/index.php\/jl-anthology-3-coming-soon\/whispers-in-the-shadows-400x625\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Whispers-in-the-Shadows-400x625.jpg?fit=400%2C625\" data-orig-size=\"400,625\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Whispers in the Shadows 400&#215;625\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Whispers-in-the-Shadows-400x625.jpg?fit=192%2C300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Whispers-in-the-Shadows-400x625.jpg?fit=400%2C625\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-413\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Whispers-in-the-Shadows-400x625.jpg?resize=250%2C391\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Whispers-in-the-Shadows-400x625.jpg?resize=192%2C300 192w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Whispers-in-the-Shadows-400x625.jpg?resize=128%2C200 128w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Whispers-in-the-Shadows-400x625.jpg?resize=400%2C625 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0764N8T9L\/\">Buy now!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Cassandra Lee Yieng, author of\u00a0Don&#8217;t Offend a Girl in Love&#8211; Education is everything to Cassandra Lee Yieng.
