A Day in My Life ~ Cassandra Sato
Thanks to Dru’s Book Musing and Dru Ann Love for featuring me on her blog today. Here’s Cassandra:
I’ve struggled with this assignment.
In my everyday job as Vice President for Student Affairs at Morton College, I’m more comfortable writing meeting minutes, strategic plans, or academic articles for Chronicles of Higher Education than entertaining people with stories about my day. Normally most people would say I lead a pretty boring life.
At least I did until recently.
Every few weeks I send my gran who lives in a nursing home a short note. Usually I fudge the truth, omitting the part how I moved from the tropical paradise of Hawai’i to the middle of nowhere in Nebraska. Gran had a few strokes and her memory is spotty, so I’ve gotten away with vague pleasantries all semester.
My mom isn’t so gullible.

Kelly Brakenhoff is the author of 15 books and a seasoned ASL interpreter. She splits her writing energy between two series: cozy mysteries set on a college campus and children’s books featuring Duke the Deaf Dog.
In 2025, two of her children’s books were selected for the CBC Favorites Award Lists, honored by teachers and librarians nationwide for excellence in children’s literature. Parents, kids, and educators love the Duke the Deaf Dog books and activity guides because they introduce ASL and the Deaf community through engaging stories.
And if you enjoy a smart female sleuth, want to learn more about Deaf culture, or have lived in a place where livestock outnumber people, the Cassandra Sato Mystery series will have you connecting the dots faster than a group project thrown together the night before it’s due.
A proud mom to four adults, head of the dog-snuggling department, and grandma to a growing brood of perfectly behaved grandkids, Kelly and her husband call Nebraska home.
