Nose in a Book? Mine, too!

When I was a kid I often heard myself described as always having “my nose in a book.” Often it was said with some level of contempt as in “she always has her nose in a damn book.” It’s true, I did and still do. I never apologized for it and I never will! Reading is a passion for me. I'm always in the middle of a book, usually more than one. Reading has been a tremendous pleasure throughout my life.

My love of reading easily translated into a love of writing. After many years of learning the craft, I am finally a published author. My first novel, Kelegeen, a work of historical fiction set in Ireland during An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger) has been published by BWL Publishing, Inc. and is available in print and ectronic formats on amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com,and in digital format on kobo.com, smashwords.com, and googleplay.com. Seems as though always having my nose in a book has paid off!

If your nose is always in a book, too, then welcome! In this blog I will write about the love of reading, specific books, people who’ve influenced me, my own writing, and pretty much anything to do with books. I’ll also be inviting guest authors to share the stories of their love of books. I’d love to know what you have to say so, please feel free to join the conversation in the comments section. I only ask that everyone be respectful of each other’s opinions.
