As today is publication day for my debut WW2 historical fiction ebook, Love Will Have Its Way, I thought it might be fun to share some of the illustrations that Felipe Kroll worked on, while I was trying to find that one image I just knew had to be the cover. A funny coincidence is some of these images exactly match various scenes in the book, so I’ve added a few lines from the book to go with them. The first one is from a scene where Violet’s love interest, Paddy Fitzgerald, is flying a Spitfire for the very first time and the incredible effect this experience has on him.

I am a 49 year old working mother from Waterford, Ireland. I have been writing in my spare time for the last fourteen years. I have currently completed the second draft of my second historical fiction novel. Most recently, my poem ‘From a Register of Sick Calls - attended to by the Clergy in July and August, 1922 during the Siege of Waterford’ was accepted by Poetry as Commemoration for their Dublin City Centre Poetry Jukebox, which was installed in the grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art on 1st November 2023. This poem was written during the Poetry as Commemoration workshops held in Waterford City Library in November, 2022. My poem, ‘Ballybricken Hill’, was published in Déise Voices: New Poems from County Waterford in 2019. I’ve also had two poems, ‘All Earth’ and ‘My Own Sakura’, published by Singapore Eco Journal, The Tiger Moth Review. Two short stories were shortlisted for the Atlantis Short Story Contest, “The Lone Wolf” in 2015 and “Spring Rain is a Different Entity” in 2017. The latter was also published in their inaugural anthology in 2018. My short story, “Ghosts” was longlisted for Wordsmiths, 2020. My short story, “Make Believe”, was published by The Galway Review in January 2021. I have had several articles on writing and writers published in The Irish Times, both online and in the Irish Times Magazine.
