Cass Jackson was head of a large grammar school when he started to write. As a part-time freelance writer, he produced short stories for magazines and for boys' comics. At the same time, he was developing his interest in complementary therapies and New Age subjects, eventually qualifying as a Reiki master, herbalist, and astrologer. (He's also a registered goldsmith and silversmith!) He quit teaching and became editor of a small motoring magazine. Cass also became director of studies for an international correspondence course on writing for children, and he produced several books on various aspects of writing. This led to several writing jobs, the launch of Cass and Janie's own magazine, and the establishment of residential courses.
Janie Jackson has worked in some form of writing and publishing all her life. She has worked on magazines and newspapers, as staff, in public relations, or as a features writer. She has taught writing in adult education colleges, and along with Cass, has run various courses for writers.
Cass and Janie have written seven books on various mind, body, and spirit subjects and have edited several more for various publishers. Both are astrologers and both are interested in healing, complementary health, and psychology.
