Irish Author. Born in Donegal on the northern edge of the wild Atlantic way. If you have never been, I highly recommend that you visit and you will see exactly why I love history. Great teachers and a love of good historical fiction authors broadened my love of ancient history to a worldwide level. I would love to have a go at writing some of our own amazing Irish legends one day.

Where can I find the malevolent 1-6?

You know a book is good when you even find the acknowledgement entertaining.
So glad I picked up the greatcoats and discovered Sebastian or I might have missed this excellent book

Diane Winger
“Paulette told me she thinks Sylvia isn’t hooking any more, and I finally figured out what that means. I’ve also learned why several of my housemates have perpetual runny, and sometimes bloody noses. Paul demonstrated how he arranges the white powder on a mirror laid on the kitchen table, but I declined his invitation to try it out. Too scary.”
