About the Author
Bridget Haggerty emigrated to the United States from Ireland in 1963 to marry the man she had met on a blind date. Today, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Haggerty both work out of the 'money-pit'-- a ramshackle Queen Anne residence in Cincinnati, Ohio, where they raised a family, dropped out of corporate America, and now pursue freelance careers in consulting, writing and whatever else will keep the lights on.
