Gigi McCaffrey - her parents named her Georgeanne - was born in the USA in 1959. Her late mother, Anne McCaffrey, and one of her brothers, Todd, moved to Ireland in 1970 while Gigi's oldest brother, Alec A. Johnson, remained in the US to attend university. Gigi landed in her element when she moved to Ireland and fell deeply in love with horses. She pursued a career as an equestrienne; breaking and training horses, caring for them, and teaching others how to do so, too. Gigi suffered from Crohn's disease from the age of 15, and although she tried to remain in her chosen career the universe had other plans for her. Over the years Gigi has worked in a wide variety of jobs. She helped manage the 'traffic' in a courier company; walloped pots and washed floors in a restaurant in Maastricht (so long ago!); sought and failed to achieve an accountancy degree (yawn); worked in the admin department of the Music Center in downtown Los Angeles (great boss, great experience), keeping the company's resident performing arts groups resident; did a stint as a script reader for one of Hollywood's top casting companies whilst trying to figure out the meaning of life; and finally realized that Ireland was where she. needed to be. In 1990 Gigi met Geoffrey Kennedy and they married in 1993, proudly increasing their family size by one with the birth of their son Owen in 1998. After her return to Ireland Gigi helped her mother in many aspects of her work and later, as that great lady's health failed, she helped her in her personal life. Gigi lives in the Garden of Ireland, ironically on the edge of the Devil's Glen, with Geoff, Owen and the incomparable hound, Sid. She has also written short stories in collaboration with her mother under the pen name of Georgeanne Kennedy.
