About Bridie Farrell

Bridie Farrell is an Irish-American author whose love of storytelling began long before she ever put pen to paper. Raised by parents who encouraged imagination, creativity, and the freedom to dream, Bridie grew up believing that a story could begin almost anywhere. That early encouragement shaped not only the way she writes, but the way she sees the world.

Deeply connected to her Irish heritage, Bridie has a natural love for folklore, history, mystery, and the stories passed from one generation to the next. But her imagination reaches far beyond folklore. Fantasy, adventure, mystery, friendship, family, and the many possibilities of the fictional world all inspire her writing. For Bridie, imagination has no boundaries—a forgotten path, an enchanted kingdom, or even a simple hello can become the beginning of an entirely new world.

Her debut novel, The Forgotten Path: The Keepers of Ireland, draws readers into an atmospheric story shaped by ancient symbols, family connections, forgotten places, and the enduring mysteries of Ireland.

Bridie also writes imaginative stories for younger readers, including The Kingdom of Briddle: The Fire Fairies and Chirpy and Hushly: It Started With Hello, allowing her to explore very different corners of the fiction world while keeping imagination at the heart of her storytelling.

Bridie believes stories have the power to connect us—to our families, our history, one another, and the limitless worlds we can create in our minds. Whether writing fantasy for adults or magical stories for children, she hopes to give her readers the same gift her parents gave her: the freedom to imagine that anything is possible.
