about me

I have pulled 'Selkie Dreams' because I've been offered a publishing contract with Knox Robinson Publishers. I want to thank all of you who have supported me in the months the novel has been on here and made it a better novel.

I also have a biogrpahy being published this year! 'Anahareo: A Wilderness Spirit' will be published in June by Fireship Press and will be available on Amazon and Book Depository.

Born in Philadelphia I currently live in Ireland in the Gaeltacht. I write history freelance, paint and teach watercolors and oils, play harp and sing in an Irish choir.
In my past life I've been an administrator of an historical society, edited a history newsletter and wrote for historical reference works. I've also spent time as a children's librarian. I still keep my hand in the library scene and run a teen book club and an adult book club.

You can order the book from Amazon or www.bookdepository.com now!

Chapters 3 and 4 This is a compelling story still and I have to say I was reluctant to break off and re-enter real life that kept pressing in on me. We learn more about Callie's fellow boarders and how her creativity keeps her sane and at the same time gives her an occasional spotlight. In the ... view book

This is no Mallory Towers or Hogwarts Academy where boarders romp and have their adventures. This is a boarding school that is grim and the reader sees it through the eyes of Callie, and see how she struggles to cope with a place where she has little control. The author captures this struggle well... view book

Some though, who were from further north, debated whether it was being confused with the t... view book

Originally I was just going to give it a quick little peek before heading off to mundane things around the house but you caught me and it's only the fact that I have no choice that I stopped after ch.2. But I thought I would give you a few comments and high stars before signing off. The novel... view book

There is no doubt that HC acquired a talented writer when they selected your previous novel, if this writing is anything to go by. I've read all that you posted and was taken in by the wonderful nuanced detail that said so much with seemlingly few words. Like Gina the prose is careful and well obs... view book
