Cathy Cassidy

Cathy Cassidy was born in 1962, Coventry. She first started writing books when she was 8 or 9, starting with a picture book for her little brother. When she grew up, she went to an Art college, and then started working as a fiction editor in a magazine. Then she got married, and moved to Scotland. Now, she lives in the Galloway Hills, and her kids are 14 and 15. When Cathy's not writing, she teaches art in primary schools. 

Cathy has written 11 novels, and I have read 3 of them. (Dizzy, Indigo Blue and Sundae Girl.) They're all great, and I would recommend it to a lot of people. Cathy's stories are usually about a girl with a problem in her life. It's really touching, and it's just amazing. 

Cathy has been a vegetarian for 30 years, and was a vegan for 8 years. But she was a chocolate-eating vegan! As much as she loves chocolate, she also loves old clothes, old toys, cars and books. Her favorite color is moss green, and her hobbies are reading, writing, daydreaming, swimming, and eating cake with her friends.

Your write up makes Cathy Cassidy seem like a very, very sweet person, Hyun Jin. You've read 3 of 11; I wonder if you are inspired to try some more. I think I'd like to give at least one a try. Can you recommend your favorite of the 3? Thanks, Hyun Jin.
