Their lives have each taken a different course, yet it is Ireland that inspires them, as it inspires me.īorn in Fire highlights Margaret Mary Concannon, the eldest sister, a glass artist with an independent streak as fierce as her volatile temper. In each book in this new trilogy I chose to feature one of three sisters, different in type but bound by blood. The idea, for me, was to write of Ireland, and of family, as they intertwined in my heart.

Both the land and its people inspire, as well as thrive on, stories. Setting a story in Ireland was a natural decision. When I was able to make the trip with my family, I knew I was home the moment I landed at Shannon Airport. My ancestors came from Ireland and Scotland, and the pull has always been there to see for myself the green hills and to sit in a smoky pub while listening to traditional music being played.
