Ian Cassidy

Ian Cassidy was born in Staffordshire just as the 'swinging sixties' became the austere, strike-ridden seventies. He went to school in Walsall, where he still lives. He studied law in London but hated being a barrister so he tried teaching law at a local university. Needless to say he hated that as well and so he tried his hand at string of jobs including painting and decorating, bookmaking, restoring antique furniture and stocktaking for a beer tap manufacturer. He now teaches law privately and writes, sometimes in his own name, and when the mood takes him, as Daisy Cains. Published work: October 2014 ‘Until You Get Caught’. Published by ‘a dog came in.’ ISBN. 9781502751942. March 2013. ‘The Unsinkable Herr Goering.’ Published by The Cassowary Press. ISBN 0984964401.
