Cassandra Parkin
Cassandra Parkin is a UK writer from the East Riding of Yorkshire. Her work is haunted by the possibility of magic and the intersection between ordinary people and extraordinary situations. She has published eight novels, including The Leftovers, Soldier Boy, and The Slaughter Man, and one short story collection, New World Fairy Tales.
She is married with two children and two cats. When she was five, her childhood ambitions were to be a writer, become the Godfather, and run the Mafia. She feels quite happy with progress on the first, but for obvious reasons is unable to discuss the second.
