The Origin
A Behind-the-Scenes Reveal from Miss Referee
Every so often, someone wanders into the Self Evidence universe who isn’t just talented — they’re categorically dangerous. Not in the FBI-please-don’t-knock sense (probably), but in the “give this person a pen and civilization might shift an inch” sense.
That’s what happened with C. J. Cauldin. And yes — Miss Referee noticed.
Before choosing Cauldin as SE’s first official author, Miss Referee did what every reasonable, emotionally stable gatekeeper of a multi-layered philosophical project does:
She read everything.
And discovered something unusual: Cauldin writes like someone who has accidentally swallowed a psychology textbook, a criminology handbook, and a poetry collection — and somehow digested all three.
His or her characters don’t just feel real. They behave according to the actual laws of human cognition — biases, trauma, developmental arcs, all of it. If you’ve read our breakdown of the psychological biases quietly controlling your decisions, you’ll notice how often Cauldin’s characters run headfirst into those forces.
Miss Referee does not hand out endorsements like stickers in a classroom. But Cauldin? His or her psychological accuracy is… suspiciously on point.
We’re talking:
When Miss Referee sees someone build characters with clinical-grade nuance — she builds them a platform.
Let’s be transparent: Cauldin is getting the full Self Evidence treatment.
The team behind this blog — the analytics people, the SEO tacticians, the aesthetic maximalists, the Pinterest guerilla division, the content engineers, the mysterious person who simply writes “more purple” on design drafts — all of them voted to support Cauldin’s author journey.
Why?
Because he or she’s not just writing books. Cauldin’s building a world. And Self Evidence loves a world-builder.
Before Miss Referee endorses anyone publicly, she performs a private ritual known as:
The Early Reader Sacrament ™
This involves:
Cauldin passed the test with a 97% emotional damage score.
When Miss Referee finished The Sheriff’s Daughter, she stood up, cracked her knuckles, and announced:
“We’re helping this guy. He or she’s going to be huge.”
Consider this your soft announcement:
The Sheriff’s Daughter is officially entering the world in just a few weeks.
Prepare yourself. She is fierce, stubborn, morally complicated, beautiful in the wrong way, and armed with the worst possible combination of loyalty and adrenaline.
This is not a sweet romance. This is a Cauldin romance. With the emotional safety settings removed.

Cauldin is not just another writer trying her luck. She is the kind of mind Self Evidence was designed to signal-boost: someone who writes at the intersection of psychology, storytelling, and emotional truth.
And yes — Miss Referee stands behind her. With the entire team. With the algorithms. With the SEO machinery. With the quiet belief that this author is going to make a dent in the arc of modern dark romance.
Watch this space. The first shot has already been fired.
