Hi Ellie, Your book Reluctantly Charmed got me started in a whole new region of genres. I absolutely loved the book and now I love the whole fantasy/fiction genre. And I love the romance in Reluctantly Charmed! Are you currently writing any books at the moment? I would really love to read them :)

I have another book that came out at the end of last year The Enchanted Island, and I am writing at the moment but I did just have a baby a few months ago, so I am knee deep in nappies and not getting nearly enough time to work, but I'll catch up soon. Thanks for getting in touch and happy reading. (less)

The idea for Reluctantly Charmed came from stories my Granny used to tell me about the fairies and how strongly she believed in them. I have always thought her belief was really special. I use my own background a lot in my stories and in all of the characters I create. I just stretch the truth a little bit. I couldn't imagine not writing, as difficult as it is, it's ultimately all I want to do!

Quotes by Ellie O'Neill (?)

“Virgin Mary was said to have appeared there. I was pretty sure she’d had her hands joined in prayer and was crying, presumably over the inhumanity of it all, and not due to sunscreen in the eye or a loose eyelash.”
― Ellie O'Neill, Reluctantly Charmed

“As a girl, the fairies came to me; they whispered in my dreams and left songs in my head. I went to the glen and found them there. We danced and played. They took me into the fairy realm and showed me their life of joy. A life with no possessions and no want. They lived in harmony with the earth. Never again would I know such happiness.”
― Ellie O'Neill, Reluctantly Charmed
