Hello,
It’s
been a while I know, but all things considered Morgan is once again into the
thick of writing a couple of additional books. More about that later on. If you
are a first timer here, glad to have you, if you have been a member for a while,
glad you are still out there.
She
is very keenly aware of the political climate and the economics of the world,
but more specifically that of Ireland. She speaks of changes where Ireland was
not too long ago called the Celtic Tiger because of the blossoming business
booms to about two years ago as she said “Ireland went more spectacularly
broke than any nation in modern time – and all due, not to the sub-prime
market in America or international circumstances, but to the sheer arrogance,
corruption and incompetence of our own politicians…”.
I think that feeling is probably ubiquitous.
She
had really wanted to retire after writing her Century Series, but went on to
write ‘Brendán’ (and I for one, am very glad). So one of her books
that she is writing has a working title ‘After Rome, Before Arthur’ “set
in Britain in the so-called dark ages. Not so much a historical novel as a
forensic examination of how two very different men deal with what they perceive
to be the end of civilization as they know it.” This should be at the
publishers now; hopefully we will see it soon.
In addition to that, she is also going to be writing a novel for young
readers via her Irish publisher, O’Brien Press.
To close, I
would like to say some words about Morgan’s “little furry people”.
After losing her beloved Tuathflaith after 23 years she went on to add a
kitten known as Beauty, and now she has lost her cat known as The Celtic Tiger,
as she described him “22 pounds of striped magnificence”. A rescue that
included his sister as well, was a 13 year friendship that ended with an unknown
disease. She states “…there will never be another Tiger, nor will I try to
replace him.” Morgan
still has her dear dog Rusty along with Beauty and four other felines and two
ancient chickens, George and Ernestine.
