Cassie Eileen Brown (January 10, 1919 – December 30, 1986)[1] was a Newfoundland and Labrador journalist, author, publisher and editor.
Her early education took place in Rose Blanche, St. Georges, and, later, in St. John's after her family moved there when she was eleven years old.
The tourist resort, "Karwood", established by Caroline Horwood on the outskirts of St. John's, would eventually become Brown's writing retreat.
[2] She gained recognition in the 1950s when her short stories and radio dramatizations won five Newfoundland and Labrador Arts and Letters Awards.
In 2011, an unabridged audiobook edition of Death on the Ice was narrated for Rattling Books by Newfoundland singer/songwriter Ron Hynes.
