Bridie is just a wife, mother and grandmother who loves to write. She is a retired teacher and is also a busy photographer. She lives with her husband in the countryside in west Limerick. Her late dad was a popular and successful poet and author. She discovered that she had a flair for writing following retirement when life slowed down a little.

As grandchildren arrived she was inspired to write about experiences with them and has had articles and poems published in local newspapers and journals. She is working towards publishing a book of her writings in the near future.
