Life
Casey was born in Toronto.
In 2002 Sports Illustrated Women which she had been the editor for was discontinued.
Casey has written several non-fiction books. In 2005 she published "'The Devil's Teeth': Great White Ways" concerning great white sharks that she had observed from the Farallon Islands which is 27 miles away from San Francisco. She observed the dozens of sharks that are part of a research project by ornithologist Peter Pyle and Scot Anderson.[1] Anderson has studied the sharks in the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary for 25 years.[2]
In 2010 she was editor-in-chief of O, The Oprah Magazine when she published The Wave: In the Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean. The book discusses incidences and evidence for huge waves that can be 90 feet high. She also includes the sport of tow-in surfing using examples of surfers like Laird Hamilton who get their surfboards towed by boats to high speeds so that they can ride larger waves.[3] She was interviewed on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart about her and the book.
In 2013 Casey stood down as editor of O, The Oprah Magazine in order that she could write a book. She was replaced by Lucy Kaylin who was promoted from the magazine's staff.[4]
