Brittney Cassity lives in West Virginia where she and her husband homeschool their two teen aged sons. She made the decision to put her Commercial Art background into use in 2008 by jumping into the literary waters as a children's and middle grade writer/illustrator. |
Influences/Inspirations:
I have been greatly influenced and inspired by everyone who is brave enough to chase after their dream; determined enough to stay on the path they have chosen; and compassionate enough not to step on those who may be standing between them and their goal.
Favorite Writers and Artists:
Maurice Sendak, Janet Evanovich, Monet, Klimt, Emily Coleman, Piers Anthony, Anne Mazer, Steve Johnson, Barbara Berger, etc.
Current Projects:
I'm currently finishing the rough draft of the third stand alone story in a trilogy featuring the characters from Fiddlebug, and ironing out some wrinkles in the text for a future picture book.
Interests:
Learning new things, reading, cooking and baking, writing, painting and drawing, my family.
Family:
One rather rambunctious yet oddly level-headed husband who could give both Peter Pan and MacGyver a run for their money. One 17 year old muscially inclined and rather stubborn headed older son. One 14 year old outside-the-box thinking, filled to overflowing with energy younger son. A whole bunch of multi-talented and rather quirky extended family members located throughout the USA.
