Genevieve Essig

Genevieve Essig was born and raised in Florida but after stints of school and work in cities ranging from New Haven, Charlottesville, and DC to Minneapolis and Chicago, she now calls New Orleans home. When she's not writing or getting lost down research rabbit holes, she spends her time practicing law, shooting pool, performing opera and musical theater, ogling old buildings, acting for film and television, futzing with inventions that address highly specific and possibly only-annoying-to-her problems, traveling, ranting at bartenders about the evils of straws, riding horses, and petting strange cats.
