Writing Master's Mistress really allowed me a chance to fall in love with Ireland and its rich history. Its a land of lush beauty, fierce people, and the perfect setting for romance. I've taken up the pen again and am working on a new Irish Celts romance set in 7th century Ireland.
I thought what better way for you, my readers, to get a glimpse of this novel than to share some tidbits about the characters. So without further delay, lets meet our heroine: Oonagh (pronounced ) Una!
The youngest of thirteen, she is the eldest twin, her brother born a short time after her is the only son. Fiercely independent, intelligent, Oonagh is a born leader. She puts her peoples needs above her own, and though a woman, she is skilled in defence. Untried on the battlefield, Oonagh makes no secret of her thoughts on the prohibiting of women in war. After all, a woman can perish upon a blade as easily as a man.
When war comes to call, Oonagh must figure out a way to save her clan, and her crown in the face of an unseen enemy. I recently asked her what she thought of the current situation she finds herself in.
"It tis a bloody shame, no woman should be refused the chance to protect her people. And that fool Jarlath, he be no better than any of these other fools. I'll do whatever is needed to see my clan safe...even if it means accepting his proposal. Course when I find that twit of a brother - he'll be thankful I don't take a sword to his behind."
