Author Life
Living the Author Life. Musings from the mind of a steamy romance author.
Cassidy London is the author of the 5 star steamy series "Suburban Secrets". She is also a blogger and founder of Cassidy's Confessional. She can be found in Montreal, Canada and has been living the author life since 2017. When she's not writing, Cassidy masquerades as a coffee drinking suburban mom whose only goal in life is to get her kids to the bus stop on time.
Blogging about the daily ups and downs of being a romance author, helps keep Cassidy grounded and focused on her work. Otherwise it's too easy to get distracted with all the hot, tattooed bad boys from her books.

Behind the scenes of this author’s process…
Want to know what goes on behind the scenes of this author’s process? Readers often ask me what my writing process is. Where do I get my ideas from? How do I mesh them all togther and create a book? So, with this in mind, I’ve decided to give you a little inside scoop on how it’s done! First of all, it’s important to note, that every writer has a different process.
