Anthology Fun


St. Paty's Day Tale—Anthology—or not an Anthology, I suppose that is the proverbial question. Yes it was written by three different authors and yes, it has three quite different stories within the covers. However they all flow together to make one story.

The first story, Star Crossed a historical romance, is set in 1816 Ireland. The tale was born from a story my mother used to tell me about my Great Grandfather who is a member of the Orange Men Hall of Fame. He and his friends, both protestant and catholic, would be bosom buddies during the week. However, on Sunday after church they would square off and fight each other, only to be friends again when the fighting was finished. I took this story a bit farther with a feud between the two families.

Being firmly Irish, I have four fairies who add drama and laughter to the story. Of course we have the good fairies set against the pagan fairies. Who will win out? Well you will have to read the tale to discover all that happens. I'm looking forward to the release of this book. It will prove to be a fun read.

  1. Hi, Allana!

    I'm also looking forward to the release of A ST. PATRICK'S DAY TALE, and thoroughly enjoyed working with you and Sable Angel on these connected stories.

    I hope many people will climb aboard the time machine and join us in 1816 Ireland and ...

    Well, who knows where else we'll end up?
