Writing Faery
As a middle grade fantasy writer I am drawn to anything mysterious. Having been brought up in the west of Ireland exposed me to the poetry of W B Yeats. It is his work that has inspired me on this journey.
When I was young, I remember standing in a dark field on our farm late one night. As I was making my way home from checking some livestock, I stopped to admire the effect of the distant city lights on the night sky. The contrast of the light in the sky and the darkness around me, filled with the belief that there is life in the shadows around us. Since that moment, I have felt compelled to write a fantasy story like Faery and I am delighted to have achieved that goal. I hope that the book conveys some of that sense of wonder to those that read it.
