As always, Daimler has given those interested in Irish myths and folklore a solid and thoroughly researched work, particularly that which refers to the Other crowd. Fairy not only lays out the popular ideas surrounding the fair folk but also draws from authentic Irish lore found in the limited textual records and writings that DaimlerContinue reading “Book Review: Fairy by Morgan Daimler”

Book Review: Lords and Ladies by Sir Terry Pratchett
I recently read my first-ever Discworld novel, Lords and Ladies. Sir Terry Pratchett was obviously a brilliant man. Lords and Ladies is not the first book in the series, but given what the author himself said about these novels, it is not essential that they be read in order, although going forward, I think IContinue reading “Book Review: Lords and Ladies by Sir Terry Pratchett”
Book Review: Irish History and Mythology by History Brought Alive
I received a free copy of this book from Booksirens.com. The annals of history are deep and convoluted and I think that’s what I love most about them.

As an author, my personal belief is that while a certain amount of creative liberty should be permitted if not at least expected in fiction, I want to be theContinue reading “Book Review: The Morrigan (Meeting the Great Queens) by Morgan Daimler”
Book Review: The Fairy Bible by Teresa Moorey
I came across this little book while doing some research for my current WIP. There is such a thing as creative license when you write fiction, especially fantasy, but for me, I want to write fantasy stories with respect to the cultures of those people that I include or perhaps bring focused attention to, inContinue reading “Book Review: The Fairy Bible by Teresa Moorey”
