About Me

This is me.

The snow goose need not bathe itself to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself – Lao Tzu

I am a writer, a conscious living and loving advocate, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt and a friend. I’m also a lover of old books and new music. Whilst I understand the limitations of labels, I do currently identify as bisexual, solo-polyamorous and kinky. Above all else, I am curious about everything: about life, about learning and about love.

I write and speak about open relationships, non-monogamy, conscious monogamy. I also discuss alcoholism, addiction, family life and food and ageing. In 2021, I completed a Post Graduate certificate in Gerontology (the study of ageing).

In 2024, I published the first of a series of BDSM erotica. Check that out here.

I would love to use this site to be in conversation with you. Please get in touch with any questions: anita.cassidy@alethya.com

My debut novel Appetite is about sugar, change and marriage and was published in January 2018.

I have, of late, begun to learn the true value of listening and being listened to. Please get in touch. I would love to hear what you have to say.
