Brigid Kemmerer was born in Omaha, Nebraska, though her parents moved her all over the United States, from the desert in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to the lakeside in Cleveland, Ohio, and several stops in between, eventually settling near Annapolis, Maryland.Brigid writes anywhere she can find a place to sit down (a great many pages of The Elemental Series were written while sitting on the floor in the basement of a hotel while she was attending a writers' conference). Most writers enjoy peace and quiet while writing, but Brigid prefers pandemonium.
