Kerrigan Bailey Casimir is a former journalist-turned-author with a passion for romance and all things weird. She grew up in Panama City Beach, Florida, but moved to New Orleans, Louisiana in her twenties with her wife Amber. Though she has a background on the sandy beaches of the Florida Panhandle, she grew up attending Saints games and exploring the French Quarter in New Orleans with her family. An Ole Miss graduate (Hotty Toddy!), Kerrigan has dedicated most of her life to honing her craft and delving into the nuances of storytelling. She started her literary journey by writing fanfiction with her best friend, Becca Prince; that love for stories led her to a career in journalism, where she was trained in formal writing, photography, videography, and auditory storytelling. Outside of the writing realm, Kerrigan can be found running around New Orleans with a camera in her hand, capturing all the best moments for tourists and locals alike. When she's off the clock, she enjoys a yummy cocktail and dinner with her wife, and coming home to all her animals.Kerrigan's debut novel, Bloodlust, is a love letter to her best friend, Becca, who tragically died on May 15th, 2023. Kerrigan has taken some of their stories they created together and carefully woven them into Sebastian and Leona's tale of love and misery. Her relationship and writing style are prevalent within her works of art and can always be traced back to the unbreakable bond she had with her platonic soulmate.
