Ben Cassidy lives in Vancouver, WA, with his wife and three children. He pursued graduate studies in history for several years until he decided that reading six scholarly books a week was not challenging enough for him, and so switched to being a stay-at-home dad. He has been writing since the third grade. He has the uncanny habit of writing of himself in the third person, and is disturbed by how easily his whole life can be summed up four sentences. Or even five.
