I'm pleased to tell you that my first published book, The Druid Stone: Celtic Mysteries, is now available for purchase in both paperback and hardcover editions. The beautiful bookcover art was created by Cindy Matyi, a truly gifted Celtic artist. The Druid Stone contains two mysteries: The Spirit Stone, set in Donegal, Ireland and The Isle Of Mist, set in the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
This is a very exciting time for me, as you can well imagine. I�ve been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. Books can take us to places only imagined, they can soothe us when we�re weary of the world and they can fire our imaginations.
I've always loved writing. When I�m writing, I�m totally immersed in the characters and setting. I find the writing process to be invigorating and, if I could, I�d spend most of my time creating new fiction.
Why Celtic mysteries? I have a great pride in my Irish heritage. I also believe that I owe a great debt to my emigrant Irish ancestors who endured incredible hardships to create a better life for their descendants. My g-g-granda, Hugh Monaghan, was forced to leave his beloved Donegal during An Gorta M�r, the Great Starvation, in Ireland. In writing these books, I have tried to honor the memory of those who came before me and all the other courageous emigrants who sacrificed to provide us with a better life than they had.
My interest in Celtic mythology, folklore, legend and history also goes back to my early years. I was always spellbound listening to the old legends and wanted to attempt to create that same fascination in the young adults of today with my own writing. Every book I write is historically and geographically accurate within a suspenseful storyline. I have traveled extensively in Western Europe and drew from my experiences there for the settings of my books.
I�ve been very gratified by the response my book has been generating. I�ve already had very positive Critic�s Reviews. I've been the featured author on the Net Sisters Literary Ladies Committee and the featured author at The Celtic Caf�. I�ve also had offers to speak at various Celtic Fesitvals around the country and am planning some book signings. After you�ve read the book, I�d love to hear your thoughts. I�m excited and grateful for the opportunity to share my writing with you.
