A lifetime "theater kid," Brigid Saorsa earned a degree in musical theater performance before spending several years gaining fans from behind the mic at radio stations across the East coast of the US.  More than once, her vehicular-performances of various musical soundtracks have been known to get applause from pedestrians when she's forgotten to roll up her window at red lights. Stage fright may not be an issue, but as a staunch introvert, Brigid always has an emergency back up knitting project to work on, sometimes made from her own handspun yarns.  An avid student of animal (and human) behavior, Brigid has been a professional cat and dog behavior consultant in the past, and in addition to her three pit bulls, she shares her home with an absurd number of cats, numerous snakes, a few lizards, some frogs, a tarantula, a tortoise, and also some humans, one of whom she homeschools through the challenges of raising a neurodivergent mini-version of herself. She often wonders if the Brigid in other timelines gets to read this many terrific books, and enjoys those deep discussions pondering the Universe and our place in it.
