She writes engaging and intriguing Irish historical fiction as well as heart-warming contemporary novels frequently found on the Amazon bestseller lists. Her style has been compared to the late great Maeve Binchy, of whom she was a huge fan. Before writing she was a tour guide of her beloved Ireland, a history lecturer at a university and a teacher at a secondary school. (She also tried selling things but the less said about that the better). She loved all of those careers but has finally opted for spending most of every day in pyjamas making things up, surrounded by empty tea cups and crumbs. She lives in an Irish stone cottage and is married to a lovely fella altogether, has four magnificent children, and two micro-dogs that are cute but clueless.","brand":"Gold Harp Media Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52078206320914,"sku":"9781914958564","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_cb2285ba-45e0-442d-9d8b-ddc7077de89a.jpg?v=1772535615","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-star-and-the-shamrock-9781914958564","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
