Al Cassidy grew up all over the U.S. before settling down in the Philadelphia area. He began in marketing & advertising design—working primarily as a consultant for non-profits—creating promotional materials, websites, videos, illustration and more. After years of thinking about it, Al finally took up writing and published his first story, Freeing Linhurst, a tale he always wanted to tell. He continues to design, illustrate, write, and find ways to grow creatively every day.
