Brigetta Schwaiger

Hi, I’m Brigetta, author of Her Nowhere and the soon-to-be-released About What Happened at the Festival. I write stories about the strength it takes to start over, the bonds that hold families together, and the quiet beauty of small-town life.

My work has appeared in Mamalode and Grown & Flown, and I was lucky to be part of the original mom-blog wave back in the early 2000s, when we were all just figuring out how to tell our stories online.

I live in the breathtaking state of Montana with my husband of 30 years, our four amazing sons, two wonderful daughters-in-law (yay, girls!), a loyal dog, and one remarkably resilient turtle who’s been part of the family for longer than I can remember.

When I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me outside, breathing in mountain air, watching a baseball game, or soaking up those little moments that always find their way into my stories.
