Brenna Briggs is the author of the tween Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mysteries which BellaOnline says "...fills a yawning gaping hole in literature for Irish American girls." She is presently finishing her 9th Liffey Rivers mystery. Mothers Addicted to Irish Dancing: MAIDS is her only book (at present) for grownups. "I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, into a third generation Irish American family where for many years I thought that eating sugar cookies with green icing on Saint Patrick's Day was the best thing about being Irish. I never knew that organized Irish dancers existed until the year I moved to Wisconsin (of ALL places) and saw them leaping all over the stages at Milwaukee's Irish Fest. They made quite an impression and years later one of my daughters, after watching a Riverdance video,quit her ballet lessons and learned how to lace up her ghillies. I began writing the first Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer mystery while waiting for her at Irish dance classes in Milwaukee and finished the first three Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer mystery when we lived in County Sligo,Ireland,from 2004-2009. I now reside and write in the beautiful Driftless Area of Wisconsin, not far from the Mississippi River." Brenna Briggs' essays and short stories have been featured in Irish Connections Canada,Hornpipe Magazine, The Irish American Post, The Sligo Quarterly Review, Irish Dancing and Culture Magazine and many other Irish American periodicals and newspapers.
