Celtic Stories

Celtic mythology informs many of my stories, an intrinsic thread to a landscape so far away.

The Selkie Mother

On a small island in the mid Atlantic, in the long twilight of a Midsummer's Eve a selkie has her skin stolen.

The women inside must wait for seven years but will the fisherman keep his promise and return it.

Tam Lin

In the forests of Carterhaugh roams Tamlin, more faiere than mortal, stolen in his youth by the Queen of

the Night. All Hallow's night is the only time he can be saved back to mortal life.

But will Janet be brave and steadfast enough to succeed?

Finn MaCool

Tomie DePaola's version, Finn MaCool: The Giant of Knockmany Hill tells of Finn, his

clever wife Oonagh and how they outsmart Cuchulain, the strongest giant in all of Ireland.

The Children of Lir

The children of King Lir and his wife Aeve are turned into four snow white swans, an enchantment that

lasts nine hundred years. During this time Christianity comes to the British Isles

The Enchanted Lake

Loch Katrine is the setting for this romantic story, a loch according to legend that never freezes until one

night when the devil pays a call to George MacDuff. You can almost hear the mournful tune of the

bagpipes as George nearly breaks his promise to his sweetheart Katherine.

Cuchulain and the Green Night.

Listen to this one if you dare, a gruesome tale of a most deadly game. Who is the bravest and most

courageous Knight in all of Ireland, who deserves the first portion?

The Loathley Lady

Between Oak and Holly the Loathly Lady sits with the answer to the riddle King Arthur searches for.

But the payment is steep! Her eyes burn with an age old pride but truly her form is hideous. She wishes to

marry was of his Bravest and Bonniest Knights. What is it all women most desire?

Lutey and the Mermaid

Along Cornwall's stern south-coast, where generations of Cornish Fisherfolk have combed the beach for

treasures, Lutey finds more than he bargains for. A mermaid grants him three wishes,

but what price must he pay?

And Much More.....
